[quote=Anonymous][quote=OJH][quote=Anonymous][quote=OJH][quote=Anonymous]OK OP. I took a second to actually read your first point (filtering out the distinct aroma du nutcase) and you do make a good point.  It would be helpful if there were more information on the odds of getting into each school that did not require parents to know they have to look elsewhere to understand their odds. The information is there (in the form of annual retrospective lottery data) but that isn't always so easy to find or understand.  So, it would be cool if they could include an "odds" calculator or at least flag the schools where literally no kids with your profile have gotten seats in the lottery.  [/quote]

LMAO! Yes, I'm neurotic. However, every African/Asian/European person I met in college spoke at least 3 languages passably. It's worth prioritizing for the future of as many American children as possinle.[/quote]

A lot of people have children who speak multiple languages, such as mine who speak, read, and write 3 fluently. Stop praising yourself, you're not that special. We know many people who are doing/have done the same. [/quote]

That's my point... Its NOT special, just harder to accomplish in the US![/quote]

No, you missed my point. There are many, many families in DC who are teaching their children 3+ languages from birth.  Find a Saturday school to keep the language and community, take long vacations where they speak your target languages, and/or get in a good immersion school. I would not compromise on academics though. [/quote]
