[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since DCPS no longer requires world languages at schools, many schools have cut their language teachers or repurposed the money for other uses. And it will get worse next year since quite a few schools (at least in Upper NW, but I am sure in other places too) received a large chunk of their budgets in "one time" funds that will go away. So more cuts are coming...[/quote] That’s a shame. Kids may not be fluent but exposure to another language, culture, customs is something worthwhile especially for kids who don’t have the luxury of travel. The NW kids will be fine. They will be traveling internationally and get the exposure. It’s the kids who don’t have that luxury and being exposed to something outside their world that will miss out more.[/quote]
