[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is sometimes not heard are the voices of the Spanish speaking families. Many of them do NOT want immersion classes. They want their kids learning English and learning to read and write well in English. I don’t know why there can’t be a program for heritage speakers in elementary school where they learn in English and then get extra clases for 30 minutes several times a week to learn in Spanish. During this time non English speaking students learn Spanish. Many of these immersion programs exploit Spanish speakers. They aren’t developed to be in their best interest. It’s fir the interest of the well off English speaking kids. [/quote] Yes! It’s used a ploy to keep the wealthy white families (with high test scores) to stay in MCPS. Joke is on MCPS because many of those wealthy families want smaller class sizes than MCPS can offer and they still get their second language as a biweekly special starting in preK. [/quote]
