[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS would still be better off making an effort to help MS families retain and build solid language foundations, like the high-performing suburban school systems in this area do. You can bet that Fairfax, Arlington, MoCo etc. don't wait until 8th grade to teach modern languages. They're aiming higher than middling AP language scores for top performers in HS. You can also bet that they make a point of valuing and promoting students' bilingualism. Not angry or surprised to learn this, but not remotely impressed either. Who cares, right, this isn't Europe.[/quote] Yawn.[/quote] Yawn away, the joke is still on you if your children don't speak good Spanish or Mandarin.[/quote]
