[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand this post. 5th and 6th graders at Latin take.... Latin. They can then decide if they want to pursue another language or continue with Latin. If you don't want your kid to learn Latin, fine. But you can't say that Latin doesn't give a hoot about language learning when kids are required to take an actual language class. [quote=Anonymous]Just not impressed that the Latins and BASIS don't give a hoot about 5th or 6th grade language learning - no language until 7th at the Latins and 8th at BASIS. The science says that kids learn languages best younger, once they've got a good grounding in their mother tongue by at 9 or 10, or are fully bilingual as pre-teens via immersion. Also not impressed that DCI essentially doesn't challenge advanced kids before high school, other than on the most advanced language tracks. DC public middle schools just aren't that great.
