[quote=Anonymous]The JKLM schools tend to let parents pick between several humanities enrichment offerings offered to mixed-aged classes during the school day, and the same time block, to meet the newish DCPS "Global Education" requirement - e.g. Spanish, Geography and Mandarin, or Asian Cooking, Latin and French.  That sounds like the way to go.

Principal Young wouldn't even let parents talk about how Brent could meet the requirement in a way that would please as many families as possible - he imposed Latin from on high, then showed "flexibility" in imposing Spanish from on high in a big rush.  He seems frightened of community discussions and research.

The Brent PTA could have invited a Janney or Murch admin in to explain how they keep the Global Education people happy, or at least at bay.  Those schools support broad Global Education offerings, and not just because they're bigger than Brent.

The Global Education team loves Spanish (they help run Oyster and the half dozen other DCPS Spanish immersion programs) and won't let anybody opt out for any reason = dumb, wasteful, heavyhanded BS.
