[quote=Anonymous]We are at a language immersion school.

There is a divide between LI and Gen Ed but it is not because kids are selected by the school or County to participate but because parents choose to put their kids into the LI program. Kids move out of the LI program and into the Gen Ed program every year because the LI program is not a good fit for them.

Our school mixes the groups together for Specials and for 6th grade. Math is in the target language but the other three classes are a mix of LI and Gen Ed kids. The school also puts on cultural events that the entire school can participate in that are associated with the language that is taught.

I have not heard my kids LI friends talk negatively about the Gen Ed kids. I have heard them, and told them to stop, heard them discuss who doesn’t belong in Advanced Math or LIII. Our school uses the cluster method for LLIV so it is not who is in LIV because the kids don’t know that.

i won’t say that the divide is great because the kids don’t get to spend as much time with each other as I would like but I don’t think there are negative stereotypes or feelings towards kids in the different programs. I do think some of the parents would prefer there not be LI so that there were more opportunities to mix the classes up a bit but i know parents in the LI program who would like that as well. It is one of the downsides to the LI program.[/quote]
