[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sad how so many parents are willing to blindly believe their kids can do the impossible despite the obvious. [/quote]

No, it is NOT impossible.  Our kid is proof, monolingual and got in in 1st grade - excelling now in 3rd.

It may not be for every child, but a PP was right to point out how sad it is that some parents are as short-sighted and have blanket low expectations of kids overall the way you do.  What's "obvious" is that many mkno-ingual kids can do great starting at first, you just have to be vigilant as a parent in supporting and, if necessary, pulling the plug if it's still not working out with support.  But that's the exception, not the rule (except maybe with Mandarin)[/quote]

Yes I've met parents like you. I've spoken to their "totally bilingual" kids.

Even though you're presumably totally monolingual yourself, it's great that you're able to assess your child's spanish.

Look, I'm in my top choice immersion charter and my kids speak three languages. I don't give a crap what you think or do.  But I think it would generally be unfair to the class to struggle along for a few months (assuming your snowflake is just some sort of language superstar which ?) until your kid catches up.

New poster here and I think you are so rude.

One, you are not in school- your kids are are.

Two, I speak multiple languages as well and try to encourage monolingual families to learn languages.

Three, if your kids are being brought down by someone in the class being behind, maybe they aren't as smart as you think they are?[/quote]

I think you're a sad person. Pathetic even.

I guess your pathetic boosterism prevents you from seeing that if a teacher is distracted because one kid doesn't understand what is happening that would be a burden on everyone. It is unfair.

Leave those MV upper elementary spots for kids who speak Spanish.

Oh and you smell like the kind of person who complains about kids who "aren't ready to learn". Guess what- kids who can't understand what's happening aren't ready to learn either. But I guess it's ok if they are white kids.
