[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you Chinese? Why would you want to take Mandarin?[/quote]

You are joking, right? [/quote]

No, I wasn't. I don't understand why someone would take Chinese in this area otherwise. It doesn't have any real utility unless you anticipate living and working in China.[/quote]

Not the person you are responding to, but. . .

That's great.  Now, can you stop clogging up my thread where I am trying to find out some concrete information here?

1)  How can I find out which schools other than Marshall and TJ (if any) offer Mandarin?  I have already looked on FCPS website.  Short of randomly selecting each school and searching out the info within the site, I am not seeing any way to search for this.  (?)

2)  If you are zoned for a school that does not offer Mandarin, can you switch to one that does offer it?[/quote]

1) Threads are not "owned".
2) McLean HS may start offering Mandarin shortly- it depends on how many students rising from Chesterbrook want to keep it.  Otherwise, they will have the Marshall option.
3) Yes, you can transfer to a school that offers Mandarin if your in bound school does not.  However, it might not be the closest school to you that offers Mandarin.  the school also has to be open for transfers. [/quote]

Reply to your #3 above:  Thanks so much! It is good to know this!  So how does one's child get to and from school if it is not your districted school?  Do you have to drive them?  [/quote]  It is up to the parents to figure out the transportation, that could mean that the parent's drive them or they hire someone or the student drives him/herself.  [/quote]

Ok, thanks.   I kind of figured that is how it would be.  Thank you.[/quote]
