[quote=Anonymous]Give us a break. Coming in with advanced skills in a major world language other than English shouldn't be seen as a problem a school needs to fix by pushing beginners classes on a student. That's nuts in the 21st century. That's a DC charter for you - our way or the highway. So glad we're heading to MoCo for ms and hs, where a student can test-out of language study on day 1 of 9th grade if s/he is up to the job, just like at most colleges. Alternatively, in MoCo middle school kids who are up to the job can freely take advanced language classes in high schools. They're bused over to do it. Language studies in this city's public schools are around 25 years behind the curve compared to the burbs. Those Oyster and Adams grads can't even take Spanish past the AP level at Wilson, or in any other program (yup, including DCI).[/quote]
