[quote=Anonymous][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’s great, and graduate students are independent and motivated. Many parents don’t want to put in the extra work helping kids catch up on Spanish. [/quote]

Or, parents do want their kids to learn the language but the school fails in getting the kids the right kind of help, and ultimately the experience for all students is diluted when kids enter late.

At least my kids get plenty of experience translating for their new classmates, and that's a skill, right?[/quote]
