[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] "Children want to do it" should come first.[/quote] Agreed. 8 and 9 is old enough to express either a) anxieties about switching schools and taking on language or b) excitement about doing something perhaps their friends are doing. Switching schools can be either a good thing or a stressful thing depending on each of your children. It's not unusual for one child to do a lot better in immersion than another. At our school there are a couple of siblings a year who leave for English only schools while siblings who enjoy immersion stay. Sometimes this is due to stress from standardized testing. Some kids are more easily overwhelmed than others. Be very, very cautious.[/quote]
