[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just an FYI for those who are upset that Alexandria does not offer foreign language in the elementary schools, I have two children in FCPS schools (in Vienna) and they don't get foreign language in the elementary school either. There are *some* schools that are part of the FLES (foreign language in the elementary schools) program, but it is by no means all of them. Our school does offer a PTA-driven FLEX program which is an after-school foreign language program that parents pay for. It is once per week. Not every school offers that either, though.[/quote] FYI, Alexandria does offer foreign languages in elementary school, but only at a few schools. Generally the worst performing ones that allows open admissions. It is used to try to attract more middle class families to attend schools in poorer neighborhoods to boost their scores. I seriously doubt many out of boundary families take advantage of this.[/quote]
