[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of negative Nancy's here! If you're not interested in this school for your child, it's simple...don't apply and please don't comment!

Ummm it is a public charter school not a private.

So yeah I care whether it is a good use of public funds and to me it appears not to be.[/quote].

Some people would prefer AA children study in drill academies, with no music, art, foreign languages, where focus is on children walking silently through halls, single-file...In the best light, your critique is privileged paternalism - which is nefarious in its own right. It’s not an especially good use of my tax dollars to support pre-k 3 for rich white families, either. Imagine the uproar if we tried to mount that fight...[/quote]

You lost me at AA.

I think dual language education is a great idea.  I think it is inane to have one of the languages be a niche language that in and of itself serves no practical purpose.

Spend these funds on more Spanish immersion programs.  Or Mandarin.  Or French.  Or Arabic.  Or some language that will have practical uses.

Otherwise this program is just drills.[/quote]

This school serves no purpose except to a few people in a tiny country that should really teach its citizens English anyway, alongside hebrew. Almost none of the kids in Sela will ever visit Israel anyway. [/quote]

So much bigotry packed into this (poorly written) post. [/quote]

I'm not the PP but what is bigoted about the post?  It is factually inaccurate that Israel should teach its citizens English - when I traveled there almost everyone I met spoke fluent English.  But that is another point undermining the utility of learning Hebrew.[/quote]
