[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, public school is nowhere near perfect. MCPS is great for a taxpayer-funded system. It's even better than a lot of privates. But it's backward on early foreign language instruction and backward on phonics-based reading instruction (still not happening). So if you feel strongly about it, pay for private lessons. Since we're a bilingual family, we enroll our kids in a weekend school for that language. There are weekend schools for French, German, Japanese, Spanish and many others. Most of them were created for native speakers, but some also have beginner classes for non-native speakers. The advantage of these is that they are culturally immersive for that country, since most of the families have a connection to it. [/quote] Totally. That’s a great idea.[/quote]
