[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, missing something. Instruction in modern languages is increasingly common for 5th-7th graders in the highest-performing school districts around the country. That's been the trend for a good 30 years now. As the parent with the kid in the school in VA pointed out, schools are embracing language teaching software to expand curricular options beyond what can be taught in classrooms. Yet BASIS franchise leaders view middle school language instruction as a liability which could impede access to elite colleges on the part of their highest-performing students later on. The fact that the policy is myopic isn't lost on all BASIS middle school parents. [/quote] Ok so ... that's what you get when you chose a charter? if you want more say in the curriculum, pick a school governed by a school board or mayor or chancellor that you can lobby. [/quote]
