[quote=Anonymous]I skimmed the nicely written and presented Global proposal and what I see is the same old overly ambitious vision due to the limitations the system places on such charters.  As per usual, they're not in a position to bring in native speakers as groups to give the program oomph, they're not going to have enough kids to do meaningful ability grouping/differentiation/tracking, they're not necessarily going to get enough well-prepared students to excel in studying either language, they're not going to be in a position to replace drop-outs with bilingual/biliterate kids in a systematic way, their facilities are unlikely to be very good etc.

If they locate both the incubator space and permanent space on or near Capitol Hill they'll do better than if they don't.  This program would work much better as a DCPS, or DCPS-charter hybrid, by-right school for Capitol Hill and Penn Quarter with the Tyler Spanish Immersion and Thompson and Brent kids (who study some Chinese) feeding into it.
