[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not do it if my child was going to an upper grade.  I would do K and maybe 1st-but only with prior immersion exposure (not just a 2 day a week 30 minute class).

Thankfully, we got into an immersion school in K. My child was able to transition well because for a year and a half prior we put my child in an immerison program outside of school time. I also supplemented with other language immersion activities.

I would suggest that if you do put your child in an upper grade immersion without prior exposure-start now with gettign them ready.  sign up for and immerison afterschool program, saturday/sunday programs, etc.  Your child will be sitting in a Spanish/French only class all day long.  [/quote]

Just be careful that you don't put your child in a situation that he/she hates the language.

Keep in mind, some of the English only kids have had several years of Spanish/French vs your child who has none.  Many of the kids in 1st and 2nd graders  can write, read with fluency, comprehend, converse, read and do math and other subject in the target language.  By this time, some accents are native-like.
