[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I don't tout MoCo, though I used to teach in a partial immersion middle school program there.

The program wasn't disorganized. About half of our students would test into one of the best International Baccalaureate diploma programs in the US. The high school program taught higher level IB language for half a dozen languages.

Do you have a IB Diploma program like that in....DC?? Do you have a big cohort of native speakers in the programs that aren't for...Spanish?

MoCo, while not perfect, does!!

You are talking about a test in IB program that has been around for a long time which takes a very limited number of students.  I would compare that to like a magnet program.  DC does not have anything like that.  You are also talking about 1 high school in all of MoCo number wise as compared to the much larger number of immersion students overall of which many do not have the chance to track to an IB middle or high school.

Language immersion also is still relatively new in DC overall.  It is in its infancy.  The IB high school, DCI, takes all comers and has not even graduated their first class yet.

It’s not a similar comparison at all.  Get back to us in 20 years and we can talk.
