[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a long history on DCUM of bashing Russians, Israelis and Asians.

Russian is an incredibly difficult language to learn.  Starting kids young makes a lot of sense in terms of neurological connections their young brains are going to make.

Aside from being able to take and pass the AP Russian exam, your kids will have employment advantages from foreign service, to intelligence, to NGOs, etc. A foreign language can only help, and learning a difficult language such as Russian, will allow your children to learn other languages easier.

To those who say that Russian sounds awful, I have not found that at all.  it is a soft and melodic language, maybe not as sing songy as Latin languages, but it not a barking language like German and Nordic languages.  [/quote]

There's absolutely no indication that this school will be for young children. [/quote]

There are no details right now thus no reason to say it won't be for young children. Anyways, the organizers picked a ... peculiar time to start the school, but I don't think we should assume a malicious intent on their behalf. [/quote]
