[quote=Anonymous]I think MCPS language offerings are like MCPS sports. You really have to go looking for them in ES. Middle school has just enough so that someone who is capable of eventually being fluent isn't left behind. While in HS, no school really sells itself based on attaining fluency but at least at the IB schools, it is mentioned. The big issue of whether K immersion or starting in the 7th grade does more has TOTALLY to do with how the kid ends up viewing languages. I know families that spend every summer in Spanish speaking countries to support their K immersion kids and their kids are fluent. I know kids who started language in 7th grade, who found duo linguo own their own and easily got the IB fluent diploma. (Not practically fluent but it does meet a real standard) I know lots more families that drove their kids to hate foreign language because K immersion made them too different from the other kids on their street.[/quote]
