[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And if you think keeping them in an immersion program will somehow make up for their lack of ability in English (or Chinese), yes, you are delusional.

It would be nice if you would at least read up a little about the intent and outcomes of immersion before you call me delusional.  You simply don't seem to understand the idea and intent of language immersion.  [b]All [/b]early immersion students lag behind monolingual peers in literacy (reading, spelling, and punctuation) for the first few years. However, after 3 or 4 years in the program, the immersion students eventually catch up with monolingual students.  Stopping students at 2nd grade and deciding that immersion isn't going to work, doesn't go along with the research and sets up the tracked children for failure.  It really is unfortunate that the school doesn't give its own mission a chance!!

Right...  The non-immersion track has how many, 12? out of the 35.  Obviously, not all early immersion students lag behind.[/quote]
