[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To address the original question about supplementation...

I have two kids who went through full-day immersion years ago. One has graduated college and one is still in college.

One of my kids was a top student and we didn't supplement.  That said, grades dipped in middle school when kid struggled with English spelling and reading speed. Kid graduated from an ivy.

My other kid had learning disabilities. Some administrators tried to convince me to pull that student out because of the lds. I didn't go that route; instead, we supplemented. We hired an English tutor during the school year and [b]summers were spent supplementing the foreign language so my kid wouldn't forget[/b]. Tutoring continued, as needed, through high school. That student was admitted to our state flagship.

A lot of parents panicked around grades three and four because of the kids' English. Immersion works best if you are committed to the full process. There is a dip in their English and then they recover.
