A few months ago I went to a meeting at Thing 1’s future school. It was a meeting about their new “dual launguage” class they are offering. They had a lot of hoops you had to jump through if you wanted to enroll your child in this class. Meetings, testing, deadlines… all very set in stone.
Well, we decied not to do the class. It was “dual” yet 90% of my son’s kinder teaching would be in spanish. 90%!!! So if he hated it and anted out, he would be behind all his regular kinder classmates. No thanks!
A month later we went to kinder round up. I noticed they pushed the dual class again to parents. Odd, since the deadlines for the testing and whatnot had passed by now. Then last week I notice the have it on the school billboard that there are dual openings. And today I get a phone call telling me about the dual program and how they have openings!
The deadlines for this program were 2 months ago. I guess no one else wants to put their kids in a class that is setting them up to be behind their peers either.
Good luck with that school board.
