[quote=Anonymous]former DOD teacher here: Teaching in two different foreign countries with "Host Nation" classes (language/culture) twice a week. The kids actually LIVED in these countries --though most lived on post/base. The ONLY children I taught who were fluent in the language were: 1) those who had a mom who spoke the language at home; or, 2) those who lived "on the economy" (off base) and played with local children. It made good sense for kids living in those countries to learn about the language and the culture. I'm not so sure FLES in Fairfax County is worthwhile. I live in a neighborhood with people of diverse cultures. That is probably more enlightening --playing with their neighbors--than FLES. [/quote]
