[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the challenges of immersion study deters most parents of FARMs students from applying to charters, unless they speak the target language at home (Spanish). With immersion in the mix, you get an overwhelmingly SES student bodies at a few charters (e.g. YuYing, 10% FARMs) like at JKLM, Brent etc. Also, immersion adds extra challenge in a city without formal GT programs. Immersion works to get high SES parents what they want when they can't afford Upper NW or the priciest Cap Hill real estate. Few will admit this but that's the story.[/quote] But the SES case you are making isn’t playing out at DCB, MV or Stokes. And only Oyster is a wealthy school among the DCPS dual language schools. [/quote] PP argued overwhelmingly high SES involvement at A FEW CHARTERS, not every charter immersion school. PP has a point. If an immersion charter isn't teaching SPanish, there aren't a lot of poor kids enrolling.[/quote]
