[quote=Anonymous][quote]My kid's school uses a 50/50 immersion model. No one in our family knows the language. It hasn't been a problem. DS is[b] above grade level[/b] in both English and the [b]immersion language[/b]. [/quote] I see this remark often on dcum and I wonder what is meant by being at grade level in the immersion language. Does it mean that a child meets the grade expectations of the school for the immersion language (which, in my experience could be low but I accept as better than no second language at all) ? Or that they are just as proficient in both languages (e.g., that your third grader is at a par in Spanish with third graders of Spanish speaking countries)? This last I certainly don't see happening, our immersion students are at least two grades behind foreign educated students when they finish elementary school here. [/quote]
