Teacher with a spouse who is also a teacher in MCPS.  We've also been here through three superintendents and are considering moving to Howard County.  The disparity among schools in different parts of the county is becoming more and more appalling.  [b]Students whose families are unable to afford to live in Bethesda or other more privileged parts of the county are at a great disadvantage. [/b] For example, middle school students in the eastern part of the county are often limited to learning one foreign language (usually Spanish), while students in the Bethesda area are typically offered at least three choices (usually French and Chinese in addition to Spanish, and often others such as Italian).  This is just one example where we feel that our children are falling behind others because we are not living in a W cluster.[/quote]

I don't feel like my children are at a great disadvantage. Middle-school offers French and Spanish, high school offers German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and ASL.
