[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most families don't supplement or care about aiming high. [/quote]

Most can’t afford to supplement in the ways mentioned.  Do you think only rich parents care about their kids?  [/quote]

So why choose immersion/partial immersion if you can't afford for your kids to learn to speak a language not spoken at home?  Arguably, low SES DC families shouldn't be encouraged to do this.

I'm not convinced that many of the "rich" parents at DCI are remotely serious about immersion, or academics in general.  Their kids coast, fine by DCI. No advanced/honors/intensified classes in middle school (outside math and, supposedly, language) makes for an easy ride, particularly in 6th and 7th grades.  Things are better in high school, but not by leaps and bounds.  Plenty of unrealistic parents onboard at DCI.

Why dint you spend 50k a year to send your kid to WIS then.  Oh, I forgot.  Many families there don’t supplement either.

You are totally delusional to think there is a 100% or anywhere close to that with families supplementing, even in private.

It’s sad that you think immersion is only for the rich.  Immersion is offered to everyone.  Some kids might not be fluent in the language, some families might not be able to supplement.  It doesn’t mean they don’t benefit from immersion.  And language tracks at DCI so kids are placed in the appropriate class
