[quote=Anonymous]Native English speakers receive instruction to further their English literacy & writing skills from k-12.

A lot of mcps high schools have language  classes specifically for heritage speakers so that they can improve their reading & writing skills in their heritage language. It’s a beautiful thing that these students want to build on their language skills & become fully bi-literate.

If your school doesn’t have classes for heritage speakers, then the number of heritage sneakers likely isn’t large enough to warrant the creation of those courses.

And if it’s AP Lit or Language that you’re upset about, get over it. Those are the most challenging languages courses you can take at the high school level, and plenty of non-heritage speakers manage to earn high scores if their skills are really up to par and not every heritage-speaker is guaranteed a top score. They have to work hard too.

Your kid is lucky to be in a class where they are exposed to so many varieties of the language spoken by native and heritage speakers. They can learn a lot assuming they drop the resentment. [/quote]
