[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, as someone who grew up going to public schools with both high FARMS and large AA populations, immersion programs are a benefit, whatever your motivation. In my career I've prioritized intenrational companies and organizations, and have learned to speak multiple languages. I wish that I'd had the opportunity to participate as a child instead of laboring as an adult/college student. Please don't underestimate people's ability to recognize the value of immersion. Maybe perfection isn't the goal? Just broader world view. There are proven benefits, even though it can be challenging, and also impact kids learning. We are friends with those categorized as either AA or farms, and from our anecdotal exposure they are just like everyone else- trying to get their kids to have a good education, a bright future, period. There should be enough happiness to go around for everyone.[/quote]
