[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Much indignation over tone and unpleasantness on the part of native speakers who vote with their feet while real and pressing problems stare us in the face. Best to see the forest for the trees and direct energies toward pushing DCPC to get its act together where DCI goes. Summarizing the best post on this thread, back 15 pages:

There are 3 sets of problems at DCI:

1- The school admin and teachers are not sufficiently committed to demanding appropriate non-disruptive behavior in the classroom. Motivated kids are not able to learn because the classroom has many kids who are not interested in learning and are disruptive, and are not controlled by staff. Some parents on this thread roll their eyes and find this absolutely normal, and consider that this is what diversity is. That is a problem. 
2- There is no tracking in non-language subjects, which makes absolutely no sense at all, and is harmful to kids of all levels. 
3- There are many students who show up in high school after nine years of language immersion and don't know how to speak the language. The immersion elementary and middle schools did not do an adequate job making their students fluent in the larger languages.

But this thread isn't about DCI. Maybe start another one. Or find the many that exist.[/quote]
