[quote=Anonymous] It's a commitment on the part of the parents as well. The whole family invests in immersion. I know of a family where the mom had taken some Spanish language courses in high school but had nothing outside of that to help her do the at-home piece. Her DH had to learn the language one step ahead of the kids. They are all thriving, but I can see how someone would choose a different path if in a similar situation. For me, I had to watch my children struggle to express what they knew very firmly in English, in Spanish. They took a hit, and sometimes that was hard to watch. So, if you have a very capable pre-schooler, a move into immersion for pre-k can feel like a set back. You have to constantly remind yourself of the great long-term gain. [/quote]
