[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure about the Burgundy Farm recommendation. They used to have a great language program for middle school, but they switched to only having a zoom language class two days a week since covid. It is used to be 4 days a week. It is almost useless, my kid is learning nothing and will probably end up in first year language in 9th grade. Not to mention the fabulous French teacher left last year. If your kid is into languages, I would look to another school.[/quote]

The reason for this is to avoid mixing cohorts since kids from different cohorts take the same language.  It’s not ideal, but my child is progressing well in Spanish and it’s the best alternative to have their safety protocols for in-person school.  All other subjects besides languages are in person.[/quote]

I understand why they are doing language by zoom, but that doesn’t explain or excuse a 50% reduction of WL instruction time. 2 hours instead of 4 per week.  I am glad your child is progressing well, but most kids are not.[/quote]
