[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]exactly. and it's not being said as, "we hope" but instead, "we expect that Sela will eventually become part of DCI". And that simply is not true. The DCI folks are not buying into the idea of Hebrew as a viable offering--or in trying to get highly qualified secondary teachers to teach in it. i don't see it happening ever.[/quote]

Wow, that's actually very uncharter school like.  If that's true about DCI then it's really negative and elitist. --  sorry, Hebrew is not good enough for our exclusive language club. [/quote]

You are hearing what you want to hear in order to justify what you want to believe.  No one said "it's not good enough for DCI's club" and according to DCI, it's not even anything they've even discussed with Sela.  But if the day comes when DCI does consider other languages, they would be hard-pressed to makes case for the viability of a Hebrew track.  If very few people registered and few will return to Sela, that will speak for itself about viability.  So will the number of common lottery apps as compared to the other bilingual schools (even accounting for this being Sela's 2nd year).[/quote]

Actually I'm not hearing what I want to hear, our family isn't likely to be here for 6th grade so while I would like Sela to survive, it's makes no difference to our family.

What I want you to hear that if what you are saying is even remotely true, or are speaking on behalf of the school, then DCI should hire a new PR firm because you are spinning it right into damage control mode.   Cheers![/quote]

YOu're either purposefully mis-hearing or displaying very poor reading comprehension.  No one here is claiming to represent DCI.  Everyone is either speaking of what they know directly (the unhappy current Sela parent who resurrected this thread) or from what they heard at Sela and DCI info sessions.  You are free to take and leave any parts of that given this is an anonymous forum (which you're taking advantage of yourself by pretending to be someone who agrees with yourself).  But I don't know how much more plain the bottom line can be: Sela is doing itself and it's current a prospective parents a disservice if they are still talking of feeding into DCI in the future as anything other than something they hope will happen.  Anything more certain is a gross misrepresentation, until DCI themselves say it's seriously in consideration or they are specifically considering Hebrew for the future.  DCI has been completely non-committal at the sessions I've gone to about any other specific future languages.  If Sela is saying or implying otherwise, that's a big bad parent blow up just waiting to happen.[/quote]
