[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if they could make it work through the elementary boundary study to have a two-way Spanish immersion school in every region, with space for a class of out-of-bounds kids in every grade who could lottery in?[/quote] The problem with this idea is that primarily Spanish speaking kids are not evenly distributed throughout the county. One of the points of TWI is to give ELLs the opportunity to access the curriculum in their home language, while acting as the "experts" for half the day. This is a model developed specifically for integrated schools, which is not something that is easy to find in some parts of the county. [/quote] I don't think the current TWI schools necessarily achieve 50%/50% or even close to it[/quote]
