[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For your DCPS elementary school-- not charter schools or immersion schools-- do you have a full time Spanish teacher as one of your specials teachers? We were told that Hearst is losing their Spanish teacher because it is no longer required by DCPS to have global language classes in the elementary levels, and that there isn't room for it in the budget. Can you tell me if your DCPS elementary school has a Spanish teacher? [/quote] Wow, that's awful. My son graduated Hearst last year and had a full shot of Spanish from preK-5th. He is by no means fluent, but he has a very solid foundation and would easily move to fluency through an exchange program or high intensity language classes. It's also a real shame for kids who speak Spanish at home (and maybe not so much English) to lose a place where they can shine. Do you by chance have any further info (links to policy or something at the district level)?[/quote]
