[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MoCo is only good for Chinese kids - many threads on how white kids are not welcome.[/quote]

If that's true I can only imagine how unwelcoming it is for non-white, non-Chinese kids.   :shock: [/quote]

Where are you getting this? You talk to the AA and Latino families at College Gardens, Potomac and Herbert Hoover? The ones we rub shoulders with seem to appreciate the fact that having a good many bilingual children in the program advances the programs' mission. The MoCo Chinese immersion schools aren't insular communities, they're dual immersion programs using the method language acquisition experts commonly recommend that second languages be taught to children. This is the way DCPS teachers Spanish at Oyster.  But as we all know, DC politicians, along with charter leaders, admins and parents mostly reject this method because they value racial and socioeconomic diversity more highly than language acquisition. Fine, so different strokes for different folks.
