My earlier post, which got cut off, said that one of my kids (let's call that kid DC2) went through a MoCo ES language immersion program. Yes, I have 2 kids, I know that must shock you. I'm not totally sure what you're getting at here, although you serm to be implying something nefarious or ignorant on my part. But I'm here to tell you that MoCo immersion was on fact a good option for MY family, and for many others families. No, not everyone wins the lottery, and last I heard there were 200 applications for 50 slots at DC2's school. So a 25% chance of getting in -- not great, but let's stop minimizing this as "not a feasible alternative for most families," shall we?

At DC2's MoCo middle school (please understand, we're not talking about DC1 who did Latin in private MS), there were two foreign language options. Regular foreign language, and honors foreign language. DC2 took honors language in MoCo MS and I can vouch for the fact that it was equivalent to DC1's private school foreign language experiences. In fact, MoCo counts the honors class for HS credit, so yes, it is quite intense.

But no, MoCo does not offer Latin in MS, which was OP's original question. Spanish and French are offered in MS.

Do you have any other snottily-phrased questions I can try to answer gracefully? As you can see, I happen to have experience with both systems, unlike you. [/quote]
