[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're really splitting hairs. The salient point is that DCPS isn't remotely competitive in the DMV where language instruction goes and the trend in downwards. At the rate DCPS is going, they will only teach 2 or 3 Romance languages at all of their best high schools, Banneker, Walls and J-R. The trend in suburbia is to add languages on top of the half dozen AP languages already taught, maybe add Russian, Arabic, Korean, Portuguese. Here, we reduce with almost no pushback from stakeholder communities. [/quote] I don’t think Walls and Banneker have a large enough student body to support this many languages. Unless you did part time teachers (which is hard to schedule). The Walls Chinese program only has about 50 kids in it. That isn’t sustainable.[/quote]
