[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The families I know who have regretted it (and in one case pulled the kid), the regret really settled in during upper elementary grades where shit gets real in terms of having to learn actual content in Spanish. Or non-Spanish speakers have to attempt to help a kid do 4th/5th grade math in Spanish. I also wouldn't bother in a school district where they don't have an option to continue past 5th grade. [/quote] Same here. I know a few families who did immersion in languages they don't speak and feel like it wasn't worth it--they couldn't help their kid with his homework because it was in the target language, and they didn't realize that their kid's language skills weren't up to doing science or whatever until the kid was already floundering. Others were happy with it, but I think you have to talk to someone whose kids are into 5th grade or middle school to see how it really played out. [/quote]
