Reply #27: Sad, isn't it?

I think Glendale is on the cutting edge of a very good idea and one that will become more and more popular. Already, this program is getting to be popular with the "yuppies" as well as those with ethnic ties to the target languages. And the fact that it is a public school in a not too fancy neighborhood is great.

Here in CT I don't know of any public school that offers such a program. Our magnet schools do offer such programs as Arts, Environment, and one on the L.I. Sound (maritime). But no foreign language immersion. If we could offer that in New Haven, we'd have kids from all over coming into our schools for it and paying the taxes to support it...
