[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very happy to have Sela as an option for my non-Jewish baby, the children on Benning Road, and the rest of DC children. Excited to have great languages like Hebrew and Mandarin to pick from for our already Spanish bilingual child! What a world we live in! [/quote]

if your child was speeking English only, I wonder if you would really pick Hebrew for his full immersion school.

also, I wonder which languages are not great IYO[/quote]

Well, honestly, if my child didn't "speek" [sic] Spanish - I'm not sure I would put them in a Spanish immersion school, since (biased here) I think Spanish is a pretty easy language to pick up as an adult and there are so many opportunities to learn Spanish in this area. I happen to think Hebrew is a great language and am excited for my DC to learn it - I never had an opportunity for bilingual education, at her age any way. Of course, I try to be a non-judgmental person (and I think it's pretty ugly, actually, to assign negative values to world languages as if there are "better" languages than other (witness the Mandarin -Cantonese cat fighting on the other threads)  - it smacks of something pretty dark in our humanity to devalue cultures/civilizations/races/people, etc.) and I think it's important to teach my children to be global citizens and appreciate differences and new opportunities for language learning...but I guess haters will keep hating  :twisted: [/quote]
