[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I’m the poster you’re referring to, I’m not Heritage Dad - didn’t he earn his name because it’s his native language? As stated, DH and I both studied the language of interest (which isn’t Chinese) we are not native speakers.  Sorry to tell you there’s more 1 person isn’t impressed with the city’s immersion options.   :roll: [/quote]

If you’re Not heritage dad, you’re equally annoying and your posts are worthless. [/quote]

NP here, this is why your children will never become fluent in your target language.  You’re too preoccupied with attacking anyone who doesn’t drink the kool  aid rather than demanding excellence from the school.

Isn’t school closed for the summer?

How long exactly does it take you to post?  I think you can demand excellence from your school and read DCUM?

Other posters and I have said we don’t think immersion is for everyone.  But Immersion has been great for us. [/quote]

But you want it to be for everyone, right? Isn't that the point?[/quote]
