[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really can’t see why the country needs two Spanish immersion schools at this point.  [/quote]

^ county. [/quote]

They don’t[i] *need*[/i] even one. But they want the program, and it’s popular enough to support two locations currently. At some future point, they may consolidate the programs, into one larger school. [/quote]

It's a good program. Unforunately, FLES is pulled out and other kids in APS do not have the opportunity to learn Spanish. Private schools are teaching it. I can't see why APS isn't resuming it.   [/quote]

Budget cuts. They asked principals which of the proposed cuts would be the least awful, and they chose to cut FLES (rather than increasing class size, for instance). The way FLES was implemented wasn’t really consistent across APS. They way our school handled it, I haven’t missed it, even though the teacher was awesome. I think my kids have better pronunciation than they would have had otherwise, but even my kid who went all the way learned very little. Maybe colors, some farm animals. But that was about it.[/quote]
