In NY you can probably retain a native Spanish speaker for a couple hours/day without blowing that budget.

I think it's a bit extraordinary to think kids taught directly in a group of 5 by a PhD student or professor are doomed to become useless in comparison to anyone with a public K-12 education, especially given Bloom's 2 sigma problem and other related research. Worth testing, no?
If I had to guess, I'd assume <10% of children who played in the school band and took a few years of a language have anything even remotely resembling a basic capacity for those things 10 years later. And again, could pick them back up without school if they liked.

A kid who loves French will probably speak French, a kid who loves bass will probably play bass. Most kids are not doing what they love in school. For those who do, it may be a good place for them, though of course they could learn what they love more effectively with tutoring.

Our society provides precious few opportunities to continue using skills learned in high school that aren't continued as part of a career. My city has a very active community band, actually a few nearby, they used to be almost everywhere in the US but not so much now.

But that's not the fault of schools or the education system. And denying kids the opportunity to play in a band or orchestra as kids will limit them lifelong.pic.twitter.com/XjByjJS6Rd
