[quote=Anonymous]As a former Adams Morgan resident, the problem with Adams Morgan and Mt. Pleasant schools is that they will always be dominated by the culture of the low-income housing that is IB for the schools. The distinction that charters offer, is that parents have chosen to enroll. The default in high-poverty, low education neighborhoods is whatever is easy. This will always plague Bancroft (and HD Cooke, and Marie Reed, etc. etc. etc.). You can lament the lack of "authentic Spanish speakers" all you like. In truth however, the presence of "authentic Spanish speakers" at DCPS "bilingual" schools is by default, not by design. It's a bait and switch, designed to lure higher SES families in, to improve the scores and standing of a low-performing school. There's no genuine bilingual programming - it's basically ESL for all.
