[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to the German School in Potomac. They have classes Wednesdays and Saturday’s.

As for public options, School Without Walls has German. I don’t know the quality of the instruction.

The best foreign language instruction is probably the spanish track at DCI. [/quote]

Walls doesn’t have German.  Not enough kids took it and the HSA was paying for a teacher for like ten kids to take the class.  It wasn’t worth it.[/quote]

What a shame.  The most advanced math classes at Walls (multivariate calculus) don't have more than ten kids either, but don't get cancelled.

It wouldn't kill DC public schools to start prioritizing language instruction over less useful outlays, particularly Taj Mahal renovations of buildings that, years later, sit half empty.[/quote]

Um the Multivariate Calculus class is over enrolled each year (over 25 kids).  Physics C has 27 or 28 kids this year.  AP Stats and AP Calc all have class sizes well above ten.  Please stop speaking on things you clearly know nothing about.[/quote]

How long have you been associated with Walls?  We've had at least one kid there for the last 7 years.  The reality is that some years Walls doesn't even offer Multivariate Calc. And some years the class has a dozen kids. [/quote]

I’ve been associated with Walls for longer than 7 years.  The course has been offered for the past three years.  The first year back after virtual was the first year the course was in the DCPS course catalog.  Before that it wasn’t a course in the system.  You must be thinking of another course because as I said it has at least 25 kids each year.  Please trust me I have more knowledge around this course than you.  Have any of your kids taken it?[/quote]
