[quote=Anonymous]My child attends a dual language (Spanish) DCPS. It is half in English, half in Spanish. I am very serious about him being bilingual, and based on a completing PS-3, and now in PS-4, I believe if we stick with it, he will be. Although not fluent, and rarely spoke it, he did have a lot of exposure to Spanish before he started school. He did not appear phased by it. After about two weeks of school he began saying words and singing in Spanish. He asks several times a day how to say words in Spanish. He currently speaks in entire sentences in Spanish and converses with native speakers. I don't know the hard numbers, but I would venture to guess 95% of the teachers that teach in Spanish are native speakers. There are, of course, some issues that the school could improve upon. I believe we are working on those. But, the dual language aspect of the school is great![/quote]
