[quote=Anonymous]I teach at a DL school in Va and none of the kids start before K. The English speaking kids that are most successful are those coming from Spanish speaking daycares or have Spanish speaking nannies. It is a LOT of work for students coming from English only houses with limited Spanish exposure. Those that are most successful hire tutors and invest a lot of time in language development. Those that do not put in the extra effort (or don’t have the time, lose interest) don’t really become bilingual and biliterate and often suffer in other areas (particularly writing). If you are willing to do a lot of work it could be rewarding, but definitely be honest with yourself about the amount of time you are willing to spend outside of school. [/quote]
