[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Above sounds wonderful, and maybe there's a good deal of truth in it for Spanish. But academic subjects aren't taught exclusively in target languages in the DCI middle school, because very few students could cope with the content if this were the case.  Kids can't become fluent in languages simply by learning them at DCI or a DCI feeder, a fact that's lost on most UMC DCI parents. From what I can tell, very few DCI families send their children to weekend or summer language immersion programs, even when they can readily afford them. DCI families have other priorities, at off the Spanish track. If you want kick ass Higher Level IB Chinese, French of Arabic, head to Bethesda Chevy Chase, not DCI.

What you’re missing is that there are academic courses taught in other languages. If you’re not able to take those courses because it’s too difficult for you, you can take them in English instead.  So there is that sort of tracking at dci.

My kids don’t need weekend spanish courses because they’re quite fluent. We do travel extensively in francophone and Latin America countries- and I find most kids in the harder Spanish and French classes  do the same.

I am so willing to listen to the reasons you think dci is a bad school, but you’re not offering any evidence aside from implying that the spanish track parents are lower class. Please explain, I’m here to learn. [/quote]
