[quote=Anonymous]I like it when DC residents complain about half assed ed programs for their tax dollars and organize to challenge dumb policies. Nobody should be forced to move in a Metro center for the type of school that's available in jurisdictions just a few miles away. It's a shame that there aren't any immersion programs with set asides for native speakers in this city other than for Spanish at Oyster and Adams. If DCI has been set up as a DCPS-DCPCS hybrid program, which was seriously considered years ago (DCPS said no, not DCPCS), they could have had a lottery for native speakers to attract native speakers of all three target languages. The small number of Chinese immigrants in the city isn't the crux of the problem. It's also a shame that BASIS and Latin can't give admissions tests (like the middle school magnets my spouse and I attended in different East Coast cities).

Blaming individuals who seek best ed practices for not moving as they seek common sense solutions isn't the answer. [/quote]
