[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Immersion is only for so Spanish speaking families, ESL and non-ESL still need parents who speak Spanish. Or tutor. Curious op what is your neighborhood school?[/quote] Completely untrue. I had a kid go all the way through Key, then Gunston, in immersion. I also didn’t hear of anyone using tutors, though I obviously don’t know everyone. We parents don’t speak Spanish. OP, it’s very early to decide immersion isn’t for your kid. It takes a while for kids to first understand, and then start speaking the second language. But for most kids, it will happen, and it’s great. By middle school, they are reading novels, writing essays, giving in depth presentations, all in Spanish. My kid got no outside help in Spanish other than us encouraging him to read & watch TV in Spanish at home. He’s done great with it, as have his peers. [/quote]
