[quote=Anonymous]In response to the comment that because I did not teach the language, that I don't know what I am talking about: No, I did not teach the foreign language. However, I was in the classroom and assisted the German teacher when she taught. I observed this over several years. The kids did not learn to speak German from the class. Sure, they learned “please” and “thank you” in German and they learned German about German food. But, they did not learn to speak German—UNLESS they lived on the German economy and played with German children. Again, it was a “nice to have” program. Certainly, the chidren I taught benefited from the program because they were living in Germany. But, value for the dollar in FCPS classrooms? NO. [/quote]
