[quote=Anonymous]Admire your smarts, PP above. Kudos. No shortage of magical thinking informing choices about immersion on DCUM, and in DC high SES circles in general. We've knocked ourselves out to ensure that our kids speak a language at the near native speaker level for many years (with two native-speaking adults in the home). Even so, the results haven't been nearly as good as we hoped. We increasingly resort to incentives (bribes basically) to induce cooperation on the kids' part. If our children weren't in a strong English-medium school, I don't doubt that they'd be behind in English for grade level in the upper grades. Expanding the Tyler dual lang problem sounds fine. Scrapping the English medium program definitely doesn't. [/quote]
