[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has Hardy been having trouble retaining Chinese teachers? Deal has not had that problem. One teacher is retiring after many years of teaching at Deal and is not getting replaced, but there is a second Chinese teacher at Deal (who came from Walls, I believe), so the program will continue for now. No cuts to JR foreign languages at all, at least for this year. But if these budget cuts continue I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re on the chopping block in the future.[/quote]

No, Hardy has not had trouble retaining Chinese teachers.[/quote]

Hardy absolutely has not had any trouble. The Chinese teacher from last year moved on, but they quickly identified a replacement who has done an excellent job for her students this year and I believe very much expected to continue in the position. All of what I have heard from the administration and others who have spoken with them indicates that the decision was largely based on student interest in learning Mandarin, which was less than that for Italian and Spanish.[/quote]
