[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Well I don't want just anybody's uncle around my little boy. Has dear uncle been vetted or is he a pervert. Also, Who pays for the dear uncle and grandma's liability insurance. [/quote]

Not sure but luckily for us, the charter DC is at does not do this.  It's a question for the new Mandarin charter school catering to Cantonese speakers.[/quote]

MV poster.  This paranoia is ridiculous.  Involving parents and other family members who know the culture is a normal part of what makes immersion schools great.  Ours doesn't need to hire professionals to teach Latino crafts, dance, cooking etc., although it sometimes does, because family members of students and "professionals" tend to be one and the same!  Of course it's wonderful when skilled Latino family members get involved to share their culture - the grandmothers add a lot.  Makes no sense to the rest of us.  Really goofy.

At our school, we don't agree that the number of language immersion schools feeding into DCI should be limited.  We'd much rather see as many immersion graduates as possible at DCI than have the majority of students lottery in from random schools.  The point is to build the strongest international school possible, not to be territorial about which immersion schools can send kids.

Do you think that WIS administrators and parents think like you guys?  Heck no, they just want the best suited kids/strongest students.
