[quote=Anonymous]0:6 you don't know as much about MoCo immersion programs as you indicate. College Gardens + Potomac are loaded with Cantonese and other dialect speakers. Technically, yes, 2nd is the first test-in year, and Mandarin is the only dialect tested, but, in the big picture, these programs bend over backwards to keep the ratio of Chinese to English speakers as close to 50-50 as they can. There is little controversy about how they go about it - parents who don't speak Chinese want bilingual kids (and not just Mandarin speakers) in a big way, and some of the administrators (and all the testers) speak not just Mandarin, but dialects. Also, MoCo continues with partial immersion into MS, and allows Chinese heritage language schools to use MCPS facilities on weekends to help maintain good relations with the local Chinese community, which embraces the immersion programs as their own. Same with immersion programs for other languages. Plenty to emulate. [/quote]
