[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Difficultly in language learning is highly subjective. French grammar eludes me to this day, despite having spent years learning it. I wish I had had the opportunity to go to an immersion school as a child. My husband is Greek and my children are learning Greek (including its difficult alphabet) and love it. Prejudging the abilities (and futures) of DC students is also a sad and dangerous thing to do. It does sound like your real beef is with charter schools as a whole, which is legitimate, but picking on a Hebrew language charter school, particularly, when you as a taxpayer had ample opportunity to oppose the school for the last several months during the application process, seems misplaced. I predict you will be eating your words when one these students goes on to work for the state department or run an Israeli- high tech in 20 years' time. DC-CAS trumps everything in every DCPS institution. My kids are happy at their school and I am not moving them, but all of this Hebrew (and coded Jewish) bashing is really depressing. [/quote]

AGREED! No one puts [my] baby in the corner. I want her to have every opportunity I didn't have, including learning languages. If she doesn't use it 13 years from now when she is sitting in her college dorm, but wants to learn Igbo or what have you instead, more power to her![/quote]
