[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What percent of kids are in the Chinese and French tracks compared to Spanish track? I just assumed the latter were the majority.[/quote] Yes more students in Spanish track. More in the Chinese track than French. [/quote] Volume of students on DCI Spanish track isn't the only issue. Chinese and French instruction are comparatively weak. These languages and cultures taught are far removed from the great majority of the families in the feeder school communities. Lack of native-speaking families pushes down standards. YY doesn't offer immersion summer school, though it's needed in a big way. Lack of well-trained native-speaking American teachers also a problem on Chinese and French tracks. Few parents have a clue how well the kids speak (often poorly) and don't make a commitment to supplementing. Arrangement is something of a joke. [/quote]
