[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Oyster has a bilingual program and the school traditionally has been one the most sought-after in the city.[/quote] How sought-after is it by families who don't want a bilingual program? [/quote] In most other countries in the world, bilingual education is just called education. Most people in DC are pretty well traveled and are more likely to speak other languages than a randomly drawn US sample, so most of them value bilingual education. An individual parent may not value bilingual education, but the benefits for kids are well documented. My lawyer friends would mostly like to pretend that you can get by professionally without much knowledge of math, but the number of decent jobs that don't require it are dwindling, so they accept it when the school insists that their child learn it.[/quote]
