[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MV is the strongest in Spanish.  Some other charters I would call Spanish lite.  This is from friend of friend who has taught at many of the immersion charters/DCPS bilingual schools.[/quote]

Spanish tutor here-  this is false. I like Mundo and Mundo families seem great. This thread is profoundly sad to read. I hear so much stress from both parents and teachers.

As much as I think Mundo is a nice school, I am absolutely sure that Mundo probably has some of the worst  Spanish of all the immersion schools in dc. It’s not really because of the model or the school, it is because they’re forced to accept kids at all grades with all levels of Spanish. No matter how hard you try or how smart your kid is, it will be a hugely uphill battle to put your kid in an immersion school after kindergarten.

That said, I’d prefer Mundo over oyster where they kick out special needs students. That in my mind puts it in the bottom of the pile where immersion schools are concerned. [/quote]

PP here. You are a tutor and not an actual substitute teacher who has taught at immersion schools.  You see struggling students.  MV does accept students in the upper grades and those with no or weak Spanish background struggle but it’s not a large amount.

False. I see both struggling students and those who aren’t being challenged enough. Or sometimes those with learning disabilities.

Across the board Mundo has one of the weakest Spanish programs. I wish I could say otherwise Bc the families are awesome. [/quote]

Stokes and DCB has weaker Spanish.  [/quote]

Tutor here- no clue about stokes. DCB has excellent Spanish as far as I can tell. Mundo needs to stop admitting kids past kindergarten. [/quote]
