[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the language.

DS, in 4th, has also been going to language school since K. While he doesn't complain or cry, he has said he is not happy he has had to give up other activities for it. However, he knows going is not a choice and we will continue to have him go there until middle school.

Like your DD, he doesn't have friends or access to a larger community of people who share the same heritage/language.

Of the two languages you mentioned I think it's interesting you picked one language with a very large community in our area and one that is less large.

If the language you are talking about is Chinese there is a huge Chinese community in the area and there are activities full of Chinese kids. If your child hates the school so much there are many alternate activities where your child could find Chinese friends.

[b]It's not the same for children of Korean heritage (unless you are in some parts of Nova) and our situation is kinds of similar to that (think something like Dutch, Indonesian, Greek). [/b]The weekend school is literally the only option. [/quote]

Are you kidding? Pretty sure that the Korean population in DC, MD, and VA are almost as big as the Chinese population. Nothing like the Dutch, Indonesia, Greek.[/quote]
