[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not buying the above in an age when it's not unusual for teens to prep themselves for APs, to prep via summer study and to prep via private tutoring. UVA etc. aren't necessarily going to admit an UMC, non-URM, unhooked straight-A student under the best of circumstances. When a language gets cut, the most ambitious UMC families will find a way forward. There are good heritage language weekend programs in MoCo that will prep your kid for AP Mandarin nicely.  There's also the 4-week long Concordia camp for HS credit in MN (just $6,000!) and immersion camps abroad.     [/quote]

Not many of us can manage that kind of expense or time.  [/quote]

+1.  Standard to offer the language in school.  I’m not interested in committing my kids weekend or summer to it even if I can afford it.  You give up the time for other things like hobbies, sports, travel, etc….

There’s a huge opportunity lost/cost and making excuses for DCPS to get off the hook benefits no one.

DCPS is just going down the tubes.  It’s sad.[/quote]
