[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're raising our kids trilingually and not using any weekend schools. It comes down to talking to your kids, reading to them, and teaching them to write in the non-school languages. If you do this enough, they'll be able to transfer knowledge from the school language to the other two.[/quote] Schools are important because they bring community. I also found that sometimes kids learn better from other people vs. their parents. I know my son would not have achieved what he did with my native language if he didn't go through immersion preschools. [/quote] Oh, by all means. I don't think immersion schools are bad (at least those during the week; I wouldn't sign up kids for weekend ones because family and free time are scarce enough as it is); I'm just pointing out that you can do it without them if you focus on the core skills.
