[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But isn't that the point of a immersion program, learning the culture, language and diversity. Shouldn't have to choose. We are at a spanish immersion program and my child benefits from a 2-way model with peers that are bilingual and there is diversity. [/quote] You nailed it, PP, but you're talking to a wall. Very few YY parents see value in a 2-way model. They've chosen great diversity over a reasonably authentic cultural experience and the many language acquisition inputs a critical mass of bilingual peers and their relatives could provide. Although they reside in a city that could support a 2-way model, unlike, say Amherst MA, with its Chinese immersion school, they've rejected it along with DC Charter. Vive the diverse DC Spanish immersion programs. [/quote]
