[quote=Anonymous]Listen, I’m not happy about the cuts to Mandarin either, but blame the students and families that are choosing other foreign languages (including Italian) over Chinese, not central DCPS, which is not making the decision of what language to cut, or the school leaders who are simply cutting the language that has the least demand so that the fewest students are impacted by the budget cuts. I think many students avoid Mandarin because they think it’s too difficult, a view that is exacerbated by the posters who say that no one can ever learn enough Mandarin for it to be “useful.” If you want students to be interested in Mandarin then stop promoting that narrow-minded narrative. It’s neither true nor helpful to your cause.[/quote]
