[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should teach Arabic at the same school. Now that would be interesting.[/quote]

That would be useful. As a Jew, I wonder if these kids will be served being bi-lingual in a language that isn't highly critical. Also as attitudes towards Israel change how marketable knowing Hebrew would be.[/quote]

How fluent would they even be in Hebrew if they stop learning it in 5th grade? No MS or HS public school where they could continue the language. . [/quote]

This school as taxpayer school should never have been approved, nor any other school in non-commonly used languages. Hebrew could have been offered as a language at a charter or DCPS school, plenty of other ways to spend taxpayer money. DC Charter school board needs to be held to higher accountability and offer schools that more people want. Also, sick of schools closing and opening, complete waste of money. [/quote]

200 kids at the school, generally high performing. Why is it a waste of money? Also, the primary issues of schools opening and closing aren't wasting money. They received per pupil money for the students that they enrolled and served them for the time they were there. They didn't get per pupil money that wasn't used or went to waste.  [/quote]

Agreed, it isn't a waste of money if kids get a good education. Learning and even being exposed to 2nd or 3rd language earlier helps them think differently and will help them learn more languages among other things later in life.  They don't have to be fluent to benifit from the experience of learning languages and culturally related information. [/quote]
