[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends where you live. My sibling sends her children to Oakton public HS by the Vienna Metro stop. The school teaches a dozen languages to an advanced level, including four Asian languages: Korean, Vietnamese, Mandarin and Japanese. If bilingual families don’t want language instruction at school, they can test out (test out standards completely transparent) on day 1 of 9th grade. Meanwhile. BASIS DC won’t let any student test out of language instruction and routinely forces students to study languages they speak well to study them at the beginning level for “scheduling purposes.” Don’t care for these dumb policies, policy? Admins tell you to go find another school. The boosters cheer, same idiocy for all.[/quote] There are students at BASIS who could test out of French, Spanish, Mandarin AND Latin? Wow. If you could test out of French, why not take one of the others?[/quote]
