[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But they have long wait lists anyway where student populations aren't majority FARMs. Other than Spanish, teaching immersion languages dissuades most poor families from entering the lotteries. Works like a charm for the gentrifiers, and a little language exposure is nice, too. The system wouldn't fly in states with a lot of high performing schools, particularly Cal and NY, but it's widely considered good enough for DC. [/quote] Why don't poor families like immersion?[/quote] What makes you say they don't? Most of the DCPS dual language schools are Title 1 (Powell, Marie Reed, Bancroft, etc). Pretty much every school except Oyster. As for charters -- DCB - 99% economically disadvantaged Stokes - 52% economically disadvantaged Mundo Verde 29% economically disadvantaged LAMB 25.4% economically disadvantaged YY - 10.5% economically disadvantaged Sela - 57.1% economically disadvantaged [/quote]
