[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would CHEC, which is dual-language only for middle school with no English track, have as its only 2 feeder schools Tubman and Cooke, neither of which is a dual-language school? Especially when there are other dual language schools close by (Bancroft, Powell, Bruce Monroe@Park View).[/quote] Because they've looked at the demographics, and are counting on a majority of those students being ESL - Spanish - anyway.[/quote] First, there are a substantial number of kids at both schools--especially Tubman, which is less than 50% Latino--who are not native speakers. What happens to them? And even for those who are, it's totally different going to a middle school that requires them to learn every subject in Spanish, when they have conversational abilities but have never learned to read and write in the language.
