[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wolftrap has Chinese starting in 1st grade. My children both liked it in first and then didn’t afterwards. It is mandatory. Spanish or extra recess would be more beneficial. [/quote] All the kids I know from Wolftrap hate the Chinese, unfortunately, though I haven't exactly understood why. Spanish would be easier for most parents to support at home, not to mention more useful, but there seems to be no rhyme nor reason in how FCPS allocated FLES languages across schools. FCPS now has another program for after-school foreign language instruction in elementary (GLOBAL PLUS), but the school has to apply to the program. There is also additional cost but it is cheaper than a vendor-led program, and many schools have already enrolled. https://www.fcps.edu/academics/global-plus[/quote]
