[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never studied Latin, nor did my siblings. We did learn some roots. We were all book worms, and National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists or Finalists who scored 750+ on the SAT verbal and math sections. Imposing Latin on every 5th and 6th grader at BASIS sounds much better than it is. I'd much rather have my my children focus on building skills in my native Chinese. The job of learning to write and recognize the 3,000 characters one needs to attain basic literacy is much larger than BASIS seems to understand. But then parents views aren't terribly relevant at charter schools. We don't have acceptable neighborhood middle schools in most of the city, so we do what were told by a decent charter school to stay in our neighborhoods if we can't afford privates. And that's the name of that tune folks. [/quote] How much support for Chinese instruction is there in DCPS? [/quote]
