[quote=Anonymous]Oh come on, PP. A little logic would go a long way here. Kids can't become fluent in languages by studying them in DC public language immersion programs half the time they are at school. They can't even do this at Oyster, where around half the kids speak Spanish at home, let alone in programs where a much lower percentage of the kids are native speakers (e.g. MV or Lamb). Unless an adult in the home speaks the language to the child, and requires him or her to consistently answer in the language in return, the kid won't become fluent by attending a DC public language immersion program. Families where adults don't speak the language who host au pairs who do speak the language for years and years are the ones where the kid comes out fluent. Period.[/quote]
