[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get why people think it's important; I don't understand why some people seem to think it's the most important. [/quote] I'm 9:20, and I agree entirely. For my family, it comes naturally to be multicultural. But I do think a lot of parents force the issue when it really doesn't fit and [b]they can't support it at home[/b]. I've heard that there's a lot of attrition in the immersion programs once actual schoolwork starts because the language acquisition overwhelms the academic learning, and parents who don't speak the language can't help. It does feel a little trendy at times, but so do a lot of the other models. [/quote] I'm 9:23. Everyone in our family learned a 2nd and/or 3rd, 4th language that wasn't supported at home. Believe it or not, this is how most of the world learns another language, at school (usually from nonnative speakers).[/quote]
