[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really close to us. So that's something. But I just wish I could get enthused about the idea of having my child learn Hebrew. At least it's another option...and that thinking is one thing that I think is problematic about the DC situation...on one hand it's great to have so many options, but then the lottery mania makes families feel as if they must enter the lottery for every single school that "might" be good. And truth be told, I can say that I probably wouldn't be excited about Sela but would take the spot if it were my only option and then I'd bail as soon as I got a spot at somewhere else that I really wanted. I know, that stinks and contributes to the whole August/Sept/Oct shuffle. If I felt like I might actually have a shot at getting a spot at one of the schools I really want for my child I'd only apply to those schools...but that's not the current reality so I'll inevitably apply to every single decent school. But yay for choice! [/quote]

I put my son in daycare at the JCC, even though we're not Jewish, and he had such a good time learning all of those songs. A good school is a good school, and if studies one language he'll study another one later on. I don't think the Hebrew is as a big a deal as people make it. If it's a bad school, Hebrew won't save it. If it's a good school, Hebrew can't possibly hurt. I live in Brookland and hoped Sela would come to our neighborhood where there are lots of young kids/families - but this location is perfect for us - and I think many of the underserved Ward 5 posters on DCUM.
