[quote=Anonymous]Well, except for language fluency, I have all the other characteristics you mention from reading. Not non-fiction, but fiction, which puts you into someone else's head. I do think fluency another with language gives you another way of thinking about the world (on the theory we can't think outside of language so a different language is another way of thinking). But all the cultural literacy and different perspectives stuff can come from being a good old fashioned English major. In fact, I imagine a focus on French literature in their schooling may be the reason for you dh's and their siblings openness? So take heart those shut of immersion schools. And try to foster of a love of narrative and books in your kids (and down with common core focus on nonfiction).[/quote]
