I was just thinking that teachers who use CI are some day going to be in huge demand. It’s already starting to happen judging from the last two Reports from the Field (from Mary Beth and John Bracey). So if it is true that charter and private schools survive on the quality of their program, and their WL program sucks, they can fail. They don’t want to fail. So they need a good strong heart-based language department where the kids have fun and really acquire the language. There are probably thousands if not tens of thousands of schools who in the next few years will figure out their need to deliver a good WL product and how to do it. So if you are in a smelly building stuck in the past where fear abides, fear not. Some day many of us may be in 100% CI departments. It’s something to look forward to.
