[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to clarify, I did not say they ARE a part of DCI - they don't even have classes thru elementary - but their long term goal is to add classes past elementary and maybe, possibly, in a world were all things come true, merge with the other language charters at DCI. It is good for a school to have goals and a long term trajectory.

NP - Here's the thing: it's good for a school to have a DREAM, but they need to be clear that at this point is it ONLY a DREAM.  No one from DCI has ever ever ever said they were considering - now or in the future - adding Hebrew as a language and possibly giving feeder rights to Sela.  This has never happened.  And in the past Sela HAS cited this as something "in the works" which was misleading and untrue.

DCI is "not a long term trajectory" for Sela.  DCI at this point is a goal and a dream, but Sela needs to be crystal clear with potential families that at this point this is ONLY a conversation that Sela is having with itself.  I have heard the question asked at 2 DCI info sessions in the last 2 years and the answer has always been the same: they are focused on opening and running the school with the 3 languages they have and they have NO plans or considerations right now for adding any other languages.

Goals are a beautiful thing.  Trying to disguise them as a likelihood or "plans in the works" when they're neither is misleading and - if Sela is still doing that - it's going to bite them hugely again in the bottom, as it did before.[/quote]
