[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm also a parent with experience at Bruce Monroe and a Spanish-immersion charter. From my experience, the kids at BM often speak Spanish to each other during class, on the playground, during aftercare, etc. At our charter, I rarely (if ever) see kids speak Spanish outside of their instructional time or directly to their teachers. I do think it makes a different in language development when many of your classmates are native speakers. So, just something to think about if the language is the more important aspect to you, rather than the montessori.[/quote] Opinions on which schools (DCPS vs. charter) do language better are going to vary. For us, any language exposure is better than none, and LAMB does so many things very well.[/quote] DP. Hey, LAMB is a great school, don't get me wrong. But if you're the PP that said, [/quote]Also there aren’t good Spanish immersion options in dc. Sorry. Maybe to your ears there are, but the rest are not good.[quote], then pick a side. Either you want "good Spanish immersion options", which is best done through a true two-way immersion model like at Bruce Monroe, or you want a strong school with "any language exposure", which you get at somewhere like LAMB. Or maybe you're not that PP and not making inconsistent assertions across various replies. If so, my apologies. [/quote]
