[quote=Anonymous]But not particularly strong AP prep for languages. If kids are going to excel on AP language tests (earning 5s), it doesn't hurt to build methodically on foundations laid in elementary school, or before, particularly for Chinese. Well-heeled parents supplement more for language more than BASIS seems to grasp. Those who can't afford au pairs, tutors, immersion summer camps and so forth are the ones short-changed by modern languages only being offered from 7th grade. What does a traditional European style education really mean in this context? DC public school kids do not enjoy the benefit of Continental European style academic streaming from age 9 or 10, and they aren't preparing to take the French Bacca, German Abitur etc. [/quote]
