[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What's wrong with DC Bilingual. I am honestly interested in your logic. BTW, I understand this school is really in actual talks with a possible alliance with DCI. [/quote]

An alliance with the Director of Central Intelligence?!  Wow, the spook community is starting its recruiting earlier and earlier.[/quote]

There has been a lot of trash talk about D.C. Bilingual having low-SES Hispanic students, inferior Spanish, parents who illiterate in native Spanish. Really nasty stuff. Spanish immersion only works on upper 16th St. with white students, you see...

I have not heard one Sela organizer assert they will be part of DCI. A friend of mine asked them at the expo, and they told her they were focusing on the grades that they will have in the next few years, but that they intended to expand to k-12. She asked them about DCI, and they said they had no idea, but that YY and LAMB are roles models for them, and they hoped it is a success, and that they would be honored to be part of it, if there were space available several years down the road. I looked for all of you nay-sayers evidence that Sela said they would definitely be part of DCI. One (1) person said it, and it was pretty clear they were stating an opinion...and not representing the school. So really, I don't get it. My son is SN and I wouldn't put him in any immersion program...but you all really take the cake. [/quote]

SELA organizers have not said anything on this board but their boosters have asserted a lot even though the school haven't opened and on every thread about DCI.

As for SN, every immersion language charters has kids with IEPs like every other public school.  Expect the same for SELA when it opens.[/quote]
