[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]DCI families have other priorities,[/b] at off the Spanish track. If you want kick ass Higher Level IB Chinese, French of Arabic, head to Bethesda Chevy Chase, not DCI.

Please explain the section in bold. [/quote]

Not the parent, but there’s a group of parents who wish the Chinese track were a lot more intense from YY all the way on up, and it’s possible the parent here is one of them.[/quote]

I understand that. I am the PP comparing schools in the suburbs. We are not in the Chinese track. I cannot speak to the quality of Chinese instruction. The people I know seem happy but, again I am not in the position to evaluate that program. [/quote]
