[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids in Fairfax can start languages much earlier than 8th grade, but on a voluntary basis. Same in MoCo and Arlington. DC is a redneck school system, mediocre or weak at teaching almost everything but math and science at BASIS. Period.[/quote] Most FCPS kids actually can't. If your child doesn't get picked for one of the limited immersion slots in K or 1st, or if you move into FCPS after 1st, you can't start language until 7th grade. At most middle schools, 7th grade language is only half of a year, such that 7th+8th = 1 year of high school language. Even if FCPS had across the board better offerings, I would expect that a very large school district could offer more options than a small charter. They're not going to have the resources to offer classes only desired by a very small number of kids. [/quote]
