[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For many families learning a second language well is not a fad. In fact, this country could use more cross-cultural understanding these days. [/quote] Dual-language is not the same as learning another language, I learnt two but wouldn't have wanted to go to a dual-language school when my parents spoke neither language and I became an economist. This is the problem, folks are mixing up the issues. Nothing wrong with learning another language, but dual-language schools were content is taught in both languages is not what some would call a more recent "fad". It's a deflector by DCPS to avoid working on other tougher issues, like overall test scores in the basics which is atrocious across most DCPS schools. [/quote]
