[quote=Anonymous]My kid does dual language 50/50 English and Spanish. I 100% would have preferred full immersion. I can see the difference in fluency for kids who are in full immersion. Our school actually switched to an 80/20 model but not my kids grade. I wish he had that opportunity. those kids have better fluency. We are a Latino (well half) family that doesnt speak Spanish at home. It is my MILs first language and she was beaten at school for speaking it so she refused to teacher her kids. My husband learned in school but it doesn't come easy to him.. My neighbors daughter only spoke Spanish before she started school and now she refused to speak it and will only speak English. There are many many barriers learning the non dominant language of a country. [/quote]
