[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ridiculous. My children are at an immersion charter. All students, from all backgrounds, of all races, are doing better than the kids at Tyler. That mother quoted in the article doesn’t know anything about immersion. She’s just using that as an excuse to try to keep Tyler from becoming whiter, which is racist. Saying that black kids couldn’t handle immersion is ALSO racist. DCPS should do what it can to keep students of all races in the DCPS system. They’re hemorrhaging students to charters right now, especially on the Hill. [/quote] Give me a break. That mother is rightfully concerned about a radical change to a school. It doesn't matter what the "research shows." I wouldn't want my school to become an immersion school either. I would also be VERY concerned about a change like this that effectively meant the English-speaking staff all had to leave the school summarily. [/quote]
