[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be ticked if my school switched to immersion.  I believe there can be value, but be honest I just haven’t been impressed with most of the immersion programs I’ve seen in DCPS and DCPCS. [/quote]

And the number of immersion programs your children have attended is... let me guess ... zero?[/quote]

Correct! We checked out several DC immersion schools years ago with particular interest in 1 language both DH and I studied. Unfortunately the language skills of children we met were astonishingly poor considering they had attended this school for 6+ years.  Would you send your child to a school where you weren’t impressed with the outcome? [/quote]

Heritage Dad strikes again!  Ban him! [/quote]

I’m so sick of this guy. [/quote]

You seem to be sick of everybody here who isn't "impressed with the outcome" because they're savvy enough to pick up on the fact that the language skills of plenty of children coming out of DC immersion elementary schools are in indeed astonishingly poor, year after year.

The poster above is a mom who says nothing about Chinese, obviously not one of the habitually YuYing critical posters. Presumably, you're also sick of her, and me, because I'm not impressed with the Spanish skills of many upper grades Tyler students. I've pointed this out on past Tyler threads. We left Tyler for MV partly because the language skills of MV students tend to be better overall.  THere are a lot more native speakers at MV than Tyler, partly because their location is less gentrified/more accessible to low-income speakers of Spanish.
