[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's how you avoid the stupid, unmotivated kids in the general program.[/quote]

Because it's the only way to go to a "good" elementary school in DC.[/quote]

OK this is offensive and ridiculous. Stupid and unmotivated kids? Come on. If you must be insulting, these kids can be in any language.

But my answer is, I have always worked/studied internationally whenever possible, and am well aware of the advantages of learning languages early on as well as how common it is globally for people to grow up with multiple languages. I thought it was because others are like me, in global DC. That's for those coming from US, monolingual. [/quote]

NP and I agree with the first 2.  Many parents aren’t willing to put in the work for their child to become bilingual.  This board loves to pick on YY, but I’ve heard some really poor French coming from students here who have studied it for 5+ years.  They are hardly ahead of kids who picked it up in middle school.[/quote]
