[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think foreign languages are great. But seriously, why should that be a priority for a struggling school system? I don't get adding Chinese to a struggling school.[/quote] Thomson has had Chinese for a while -- its not a new addition. The school is in an area that has a relatively high (for DC) concentration of Chinese residents, and I'm pretty sure the school has a higher percentage of Asian (likely Chinese) students than any other DCPS. I suspect the Chinese instruction (limited though it is) helps retain those Asian students, who as a group perform better on DC-CAS than most of the other students.[/quote]
