[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to be in at Mundo Verde and would certainly choose that over Cooke for all the reasons given above--plus I am a fluent Spanish speaker who would love to support this at home. And I'm into sustainability. For me the choice would be clear for those reasons.

[b]But I also think that immersion schools are harmed by parents who half-heartedly enroll despite not being into immersion[/b] (and the other focuses of the school in this case).

What do immersion parents think about this theory?[/quote]

Immersion parent, and I am inclined to agree.  I knew immersion was important to me from the very beginning.  The caveat is that I think some parents legitimately don't know that in advance, however they have an open mind to the possibility that it's something they and their children might value.  As they see their child taking joy in learning a new language, they can come around to that point of view.  I've seen a number of families become quite passionate about a second language, when it wasn't something they anticipated before enrolling.
