[quote=Anonymous]What's "sane" about letting the strong language skills of 5th graders who'd come up through immersion programs peter out as they wait until 8th grade to start beginning language instruction? What's sane about not offering language instruction before 8th grade when the science tells us that younger students pick up languages far more readily than older ones? These policies are dumb. I know that former immersion parents have tried and failed to get support from BASIS for after-school language clubs on campus for years. No surprises that BASIS is downgrading their weak language instruction. The BASIS way or the highway, to hell with what makes good sense. [/quote]
