[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.

Just wow. “Low SES families shouldn’t be encouraged to do this.” And I saw your further response justifying this position. Families that are not rich can only take advantage of what’s available in the public school system. If they don’t have the funds to enroll in a better program or supplement, your attitude is that they shouldn’t do anything. Are you for real? Do understand anything about the world other than your own little bubble? Please refrain from suggesting what “low ses” families should/should not do. [/quote]
