[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can set up all the supposed dual immersion public school programs you want (charter of DCPS) to keep affluent families happy.  As the article points out, its attracting enough low-income native speakers to ensure successful immersion that's the trick.  [/quote]

Yeah, the whole "low income Latino" thing in the article made me kinda wonder if the author actually talked to any Latino students/parents at Oyster.  Sure there are some low income Latino families, but there are a LOT of professionals, embassy staff, NGO employees.  [/quote]

Exactly!  Of course there are low income Latino families at Oyster, but they are definitely in the minority.  Most of my children's Latino friends at Oyster have very well educated parents who work at the World Bank, IMF, various embassies, etc.  There are also several Latino Oyster parents who held positions in President Obama's administration (including a cabinet level position); and one student is the child of a member of the US Congress.[/quote]

Well aren't you FANCY!?[/quote]

Yes.
And the women you perceive to be the nannies are actual moms at the school. Say hi one day. Maybe coordinate a play date for your children. I know this means you won't be able to socialize with people above YOU. But still. You will feel good about yourself and can brag to your friends how you once went went to Georgia Avenue.[/quote]
