[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See, here is what I'm missing about DCI, and maybe someone can point it out to me (I'm not at a feeder school but another popular charter).  It seems that in this area, the push to immersion and language pendulum has swung so far to the detriment of all other things (the above poster as an example).  Maybe as the child of non-Americans, I see it more clearly, speaking other language is great and important, however DCI has not pushed any plans for instruction on other aspects of the school.

My child will learn language, it's a given, MORE important to me, is learning basic math, science technology, reading to be on par with the rest of world (not the US, but the world).

It's because no matter how boring, crappy, whatever, a class is on a particular day, if that class is held in, say, French, your child is learning.  The language immersion helps ensure a synapse-growing experience for your kid even as other aspects of the school wax and wane.  [/quote]
