[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you curious about?
You've already determined they won't take advantage of the opportunity to go to college in Latin America.
Your kids opportunity to become bilingual was a privilege of having educated parents, not a disadvantage they could use as leverage for college admission.   
This isn't the same situation as kids who group up with parents who don't speak English, and have to act as translators for their parents.[/quote]

I’m wondering whether or something like this rises to the level of a kid being super committed to a sport, or some other very time-consuming extra curricular.  [/quote]

I know a couple of kids that went to a language immersion program, continued the language through HS, spent every year in the country of that language (Asian language) and still ended up at so-so schools.  Not an advantage to the school so no incentive for the school to celebrate it.  Sports on the other hand enhances their prestige and brings in money.
