[quote=Anonymous]OP, Language aside, YY and MV seem like very different schools. Expeditionary vs. IB, locations, first year MV vs. a few years for YY. I assume ethnic and SES demographics, and percentage of parents who speak target language, are quite different as well. There's also the backup question. If MV were to close, there are several other DCPS and charter Spanish options. YY is the only program of it's kind in DC. Ultimately, if your family speaks only English, you will have to put in lots of extra effort and maybe money to ensure your child can speak, read and write any second language. There are plenty of English-only parents at our bilingual Spanish school who struggle to keep up with homework or whose kids don't stay past third grade from lack of interest or out of school support. Which would you pick if they were the same languages?[/quote]
