[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wasn't all that worried about lack of foreign language because DD is in a Spanish course at LanguageStars. According to the AD, they don't want to offer language until they have enough time in the schedule to devote a certain number of hours per week. If they studied Spanish 1 hr a week, the kids probably wouldn't get a lot of out it. [/quote]
Because they're too busy taking care of bunnies?  Seriously, the early elementary ages are both when there's the most time in the day for foreign language and when kids get the most out of it -- even if it's mostly singing songs and playing games.  You can't tell me there's really not an hour in each K-2 day for kids to sing/play/draw/whatever in Spanish.[/quote]

I'm just the messenger... this is what the AD told me.  And, in my case, we are ok with it because DD is getting language instruction elsewhere.  I'm also the poster who commented on the weak science curriculum. There are definite weaknesses to the school.  What about the idea of K kids getting on the school bus with 18 year olds?[/quote]
