[quote=Anonymous]YY and DCI can't afford to offer those sorts of supports -- which at DCI would also need to be offered to students on the French and Spanish track. It is expensive and not feasible under the curren per pupil allocation they receive from the city. DCI does raise funds to send students on excursions to other countries, so perhaps they could be convinced to instead spend that money on language reinforcement programs over the summer. It is a big lift to raise enough, and families that can afford to pay also pay for a portion of their child's trips. But given DCI's international mission, which includes language fluency but isn't only about language fluency, I doubt the administration would go for it. [/quote]
