[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point PP was making was that parents should be given a choice where language instruction goes in a country with one national language, English. In Canada, the government reasonably requires almost all the kids to study French in government schools.

If you want Spanish for your children in public school all the way up, fantastic! Go for it! If you prefer that your children focus on learning a different language also taught at the AP and International Baccalaureate levels, just as good!

WotP, in the JKLM schools and at Deal, Hardy and Wilson, parents are given a choice of language, or no language in elementary school. EotP, DCPS generally forces all the kids to study a single language, usually Spanish, all the way from PreS3.

One city, two sets of rules.

DCPS WOTP elementary schools do not all give a choice of language; only recently did they even begin to teach Spanish as a DCPS class. Some/most offer pay on your own before/after school language taught outside of the DCPS curriculum. Janney only offers language if you pay.[/quote]
