[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the people who are like, 'oh, you'll be fine!'  Listen - I live in NE and we lost the charter lottery many, many times. Ended up at Tyler for two years, which was a NIGHTMARE.  Now homeschooling for a year while we prepare for a move to MoCo. [/quote]

Tyler Traditional or Spanish Immersion?  Which grades?  Really, a nightmare?  I know lots of people who like the SI program.    [/quote]

Tyler Traditional. K and 1.   People like SI in the early years because the school actively keeps out "the riff raff" - many kids with behavior problems and IEPs from the program.  (my friend's kid got kicked out of spanish immersion for bullshit reasons. she supsected it was because of the child's disability - and the Dept Of Education, Civil Rights Division agreed and found that Tyler violated the law).

But so few kids stay even in SI in the later years - they barely had a 5th grade SI class when we left - so in that respect, it's the same as other schools: people find it acceptable for a bit, then bail.
