[quote=Anonymous]^+1,000 Please tell me you're on the LSAT or OCC or somehow involved with the advisory process. :) We are IB on Kalorama side and totally agree that some type of partnership with Reed for a dual immersion PK-8 school makes logistical and linguistic sense. A school of about 1,000 sounds about right to sustain interest and resources with a goal of bi-literacy by 8th grade. I, too, am willing to send my child to Reed from IB at Oyster (test scores are overrated) if it meant ensuring a truly dual-immersion model through 8th. Staying in DCPS system as a magnet or demonstration school could mean students who really could benefit from long term dual-immersion could have a chance to be educated bilingually even if they lost out on the charter lotteries. There are no easy answers. But splitting elementary grades across two buildings a mile apart in current Oyster-Adams configuration was a short-sighted compromise from now-gone egos in the pre-charter explosion era.[/quote]
