[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Set aside spots at DCI for DCPS bilingual feeders.[/b] Why should DCPS dual language kids have no shot at a better bilingual middle school Its incredibally unfair that a kid who got lucky in PK3 in MV gets to coast all the way through high school in bilingual charters.
Create a true test in magnet middle school[/quote]

Better yet, [b]give all students equal opportunity to attend DCPS bilingual schools by making the schools citywide.[/b]   We need to end the system of some people being able to buy into a bilingual schools while many recent immigrant families are shut out. [/quote]

1) DCPS dual language programs (MacFarland) do not set aside spots for bilingual students who are outside a DCPS program. So why should DCI?

2) I could not agree with this more. All dual language, just like the DCPS Montessori and Reggio schools should be city-wide.

And DCPS should continue to require half the seats go to children who are dominant in the target language. No by-right school should be a dual language - and there should also be 1 in each ward.

That is like saying - IB programs should be city wide.   Or how about programs that are affiliated with Fillmore - or schools that have honors classes?   Should those be open to all?

The school systems us less than perfect.   [/quote]
