[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Show me the data that MCPS immersion programs work the way you claim. If they did, there would be HS immersion programs. [/quote] I am not sure whether you are arguing that immersion doesn’t “work” in the sense that kids don’t learn the target language, or something else. If the former, you’re incorrect. The students learn the language. This is not demonstrated by the existence or nonexistence of HS immersion programs. You might start by counting seals of biliteracy on earned diplomas. They don’t stay immersed into high school because they also have to be proficient users of English when they graduate high school, and formal English instruction is also necessary for that to happen. If your argument is for *starting* immersion in high school, that would be ignoring everything known about the acquisition of a language in which one is going to be truly fluent. Younger brains do it better.[/quote]
