[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, MV8 is on the list for first, second, and third grade. Guess everyone who wanted to go got in by kindergarten, and it's not appealing enough for families to trade up later.[/quote] Honestly starting immersion that late isn't a good idea. [/quote] This is my favorite local DC take, as though no one has ever learned a language starting later than kindergarten. I used to help run a graduate level language immersion program that was successful, even for monolingual students.[/quote] That response is how parents rationalize the immersion school they've been telling their friends and families about when they realize that the non-language academics at their immersion school are sub-par and their upper ES kids aren't actually bilingual. To admit that a kid could enter an immersion program after ECE and be fine would shatter the mythology. [/quote]
