[quote=Anonymous]There are only 112 students in all of DCPS preK-12 that are listed as coming from China (most recent data I could find was 2009-10) and 208 listed as having Chinese as their home language. Note that all dialects are lumped together for their totals. Let's say for argument that ~1/4 of those kids listed would be age eligible. That would mean 52 kids in a school of +400 kids. It would be great, but it would still not be full two-way immersion. No matter what the level of outreach there simply are not enough native or home speakers of Chinese in the city. Compare this to 5,120 Spanish speakers. This is what the home language survey looks like. It doesn't allow for dialect differentiation and it wouldn't be a question the school would be able to collect data on and then report to the public. http://dc.gov/DCPS/Files/downloads/In-the-Classroom/DCPS-Home-Language-Survey-for-SY2008-09.pdf[/quote]
