[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The spanish as a special is just fluff. After a few years your kid may know how to count, their colors, a few basic phrases, a few songs. Don’t expect much else. It’s not like they are going to be able to actually have a conversation or read spanish. If you really want language proficiency, the only route is immersion charter to DCI for public. If you want fluency, same route and supplement with summer immersion experiences.[/quote] You have to ask the school. Mine has 2 Spanish teachers and families who ‘opt in’ their kids have Spanish 3x a week. Another school Spanish was only for 1st-5th, so they were able to do 2x a week for some classes. Some schools have other specials doubled up as well, the last school I worked at had 2 PE teachers. However, you are correct that many schools who have specials, 1x a week is the norm.[/quote]
