[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Opting out of a class everyone else takes is a curriculum change. F[b]reeing up a staff member to staff a study hall requires extra resources.[/b] Offering advanced sections or two of a foreign language also requires hiring another teacher (and god knows they have trouble finding competent Spanish teachers to cover the ones they do offer) .

BASIS has more teachers per grade than other schools to cover the 3 science disciplines students take in 6th, 7th and 8th. That's where they put their resources. If that doesn't work for your family, it does indeed make sense for you to choose something else.

Finally, I'd love to see some empirical evidence that exposure to a third language at school would hurt their ability to learn a second language at home. [/quote]

Good grief, epic bureaucratic obstacles to such a simple request. This is what comes of a school that doesn't have a library where student can sit and study quietly on their own.

That's right lady, be sure to dive the committed linguists out of our public schools. Everybody wins! [/quote]
