[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oversimplification. Plenty of the opposite can be found. Parents need to read both sides of the research (in favor and against) and decide for themselves. Not easy unless you have nothing to do.... If it can push English/math scores to levels of Janney, Lafayette, Mann...and prepare students for high school/college (beyond what those articles say), some parents may think is good (and why wait over 10 years to implement?), but others will decide to wait and see what happens, just in case. Both  deserve respect. [/quote]

Please post the research that has found that 90/10 language immersion programs have poor outcomes.  We’ll wait.[/quote]

Sorry, have work to do. You can google it or use a research database at a university/research organization... to find it on your own and then make sure to compare sources, choose the most reliable ones....People have to get trained extensively to write and interpret research results. In general, target population in posted articles is different and for results to be replicated many similar conditions need to be met. The key is the actual implementation. Will the model be implemented in all grades? What will happen to the English teachers now at Oyster? Will they be forced to retired, fired or put to teach Spanish if they can? Where will the new teachers come from? How much experience will they have? What will happen to the English program? How will the 2 existing Oyster models (2 teachers at a time or change of classroom in the middle) be affected? Will heritage students follow a different model than those who speak English? We tried a school implementing something new (and better in theory) for the first time and had to go back to our regular daycare for preK-4 in less than 2 weeks. Everyone happy with the results.[/quote]

Good, stay happy wherever you are now.  We’re doing just fine at OA without your concern-trolling.  Be well.[/quote]
