[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think your average kid learning Spanish in an immersion program is gaining more. [/quote] I gently disagree. My DH's family is South American. He and his cousins are all fluent Spanish speakers but none of them were educated in Spanish. They don't read/writ well in Spanish and so they feel somewhat less 'educated'. The Spanish speaking kids gain just as much as the non-Spanish speakers by being educated in both languages. There's also been a lot of research documenting the benefits for both groups - I just don't have time to pull it up...[/quote]
