[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so aside from the ignorance of OP question on the importance of the Spanish language and practical use in the world- we are raising our daughter bilingually for several reasons- 
1- as her brain is forming- learning 2 languages as once will benefit the way she thinks and learns in general
2- starting this even before preschool- our goal is for her to be bilingual and biliterate. We think this will open many opportunities for her both in the US and abroad
3- my husbands native language is Spanish. It’s important to me she not only learns and appreciates his culture and language- but feels just as comfortable communicating with his side of the family as she is with mine.

Even if 3 wasn’t the case- I understand why any parent would want to offer this to their child. [b]And DC is actually ahead of the curve in this area of education. [/b][/quote]

Yes! This is one reason I'm afraid to move away, because we likely won't find such opportunities elsewhere so easily. Even where most things about DC school system are not great, this is a huge incentive for us to stay. [/quote]
