[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reframing (not OP) - which DCPS ES have a foreign language as a special, and for what grades? I learned to ask this at open houses last year, but only after I’d already been to a bunch. I stupidly assumed all ES would have at least some foreign language. They don’t! It seems that Title 1 schools sometimes opt to use their extra funding for foreign language, but some don’t. At wealthy schools it’s PTA funded, but some wealthy schools (Stoddert) don’t have any foreign language. Mann has Spanish that is PTA funded but only through 2nd (?) grade. SWS has French- is that in every grade? [/quote]

Maury used to have a Spanish special but got rid of it a couple years ago. (Didn’t replace it with anything—always just cuts, cuts, cuts.) It didn’t do a lot for my kid, who inherited a really bad mind for languages from me, but it is a little galling that some schools are able to have more offerings than others. Specials feel to me like something that should be standard across the school system. [/quote]
