[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just shared this on the Lee vs. Stokes thread but thought I'd post here too...

I choose montessori over immersion because i think creating good learning and work habits first is more important that becoming bilingual. I was not raised in a bilingual environment or with Spanish until high school, and after a few years of living abroad and traveling I am now fluent in Spanish.[/quote]

First of all, I doubt your "Fluency". You may speak it very well, but that's worlds apart from being truly fluent. Sorry. I've met people like you, and you guys are never truly fluent.

Secondly, your crappy school has been around for less than a year. I doubt very much it's the only school where you can "create good learning and work habits."

I wouldn't enroll my child in a brand new school like Lee, and the obnoxious Lee boosters are only giving me more reason to stay away. [/quote]

I don't go to Lee, have no interest in Montessori at all.  I also agree with your point that often fluency is not quite fluent.  However I also definitely am happy you'll stay far away from Lee, that is best for all kids and families there.  You sound like you bring an unpleasant cloud over anywhere you go.  A bit sad for wherever you do have kids, but hopefully your kids are rising above that cloud.[/quote]

Another non Lee (or immersion parent at that) parent here. I completely agree. Sure, the Lee posters can seem anxious, maybe a little mean sometimes. This response was uncalled for. Also, I have many friends at immersion charters and even Oyster. Even the older kids are hardly "fluent" like you describe. No need for the judgment or the meanness.[/quote]
