[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To get access to DCI, because it is better than their other options, many people embrace DL elementaries even if they don't really want it very strongly.  Or just because it is what they got in the lottery and better han their other options.

People think it ensures their child (if a non-dominant speaker) will be challenged.[/quote]

That makes sense, the US is really behind in terms of languages. Bilingual is pretty common in other countries. Hopefully that will change in the future.[/quote]
Bilingualism is not common in Europe. Learning other languages is common though. I took have taken 6 foreign languages for example. I'm not bilingual and do not want to send my kids to a bilingual school. I want them to learn other languages. [/quote]

Really? It seemed like every country I went to people could speak English. Not everyone but a great majority of people I encountered, living in Barcelona for a year and then separate months traveling to other countries.
Thanks for your answer! [/quote]
