[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t rolling Terrace basiclly an immersion by default due to location? Not sure they have the option to not have everything in Spanish [/quote]

At what point does a school that changes to Spanish become a problem. 50%,60%,70%,80%??? And then how much right do they have to complain about being in a poor and all Spanish school when they made it that way? [/quote]

I can't think of when it might become a problem unless you are referring to teaching children who speak only Spanish at home only in Spanish. But that is not happening and there are no plans for that. And I'm not aware of anybody making anything poor. Is somebody making something poor that I am not aware of?

Most people think it is good to be bilingual. Take Rolling Terrace for example. There are a lot of kids there who speak Spanish at home. Making the school dual language will allow for the children to work together on language with Spanish speakers helping English speakers and English speakers helping Spanish speakers. The result is that the entire student body will become fluent in both English and Spanish. What a wonderful thing. If only more schools were like that. [/quote]
