[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, we’re expecting little fron BASIS. But we’d sure like[b] a modicum of common sense flexibility at no cost to the school on curriculum here and there.[/b] The ironclad policy on language instruction is so over the top obtuse that you can’t make this stuff up. Be our guests, march and salute on into the high school claiming that the rest of us leave because are children are too dumb and lazy to cope.[/quote]

What, specifically, were you expecting?  Obviously, adding a class for your kid would be at significant cost to the school.  Letting your kid take class with a higher grade level can cause scheduling issues.  Letting your kid do independent study rather than one of the offered languages means that the school would still need to babysit your kid for a period and somewhat oversee things.   Again, the school can't be everything for everyone, and they have to make do on a pretty tight budget.  They offer what they offer.  If you don't like the offerings, you obviously should go somewhere else with no hard feelings.  Your extreme bitterness is odd, especially since you could easily opt to attend an immersion school.
