[quote=Anonymous]I was in the exact situation as you. I decided to keep my daughter in the school and carved out time each week to help her with her homework. I disliked as a child and she barely tolerated it. Fast forward, she graduated the program 2 years ago and during that time, we visited my parents in their country. After a few days, something clicked within my daughter and she began speaking the language. Not even close to be fluent, but enough to have a very decent conversation with her grandparents. By the end of the trip, her vocabulary soared and I think the full immersion after 6 years of class really helped her. And even without the language component, she made some friends and learned a lot about her culture. My sister tried sending her kids to the same school but decided against it for the same reasons yiu are stating. Now her kids, same age as my daughter, are regretting that their parents weren’t more forceful. My son is also attending and although he is much younger, he is getting a lot out of it and loves going every Saturday.
