[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are at W and W-feeder schools. They have never received adequate writing or grammar instruction. That’s not part of the MCPS curriculum really. If I had younger kids and could pick any school, it would be Oakland Terrace. For parents on here talking about adding Spanish as a special, that’s at best an hour per week in current special form and based on past years when language was offered at some schools. That does almost nothing. For the schools I suspect or hope MCPS will target for the new programs, the schools are effectively already bilingual in many cases. [b]For those calling for the specials approach, I doubt it will be your kids’ school.[/b][/quote]

If you read the article, one of the programs is going to be in Chinese. I'm wondering if they are pivoting Potomac from the partial immersion model currently in place to a more dual immersion model. So, honestly, it might be "their" school. [/quote]

MCPS sees the Asian flight to certain private schools. Hard to compete when parents work for employers that cover the cost of tuition. These private schools have admissions events at those employers for this reason. [/quote]
