[quote=Anonymous]I can assure the K parent that those of us who didn't go all through our school years with the same kids turned out as well as those who did (given no other factors involved!). By HS, your child may be dying to get the heck away from those kids. Friendships change, kids grow and mature and adapt -- as they are meant to do. 
Also, there's no MoCo high school language immersion. And, though middle school immersion is "partial," French IM covers two subjects several days a week, and regular MS language classes don't compare. The kids who stay in MS immersion are of course more fluent by HS than those who ended it in ES and then took up regular language classes in MS and HS, all other circumstances being equal. But whether that matters is the family's decision. By 8th grade MS immersion kids on a stay in France were fluent and fooled many native speakers. At the end of HS, I imagine the non-immersion or ES-only immersion kids who took language all the years it was offered and who committed themselves to keeping it up would be near-fluent themselves. It's just much easier with immersion, and those classes are also very oriented toward world citizenship and cultural studies. For our child, that was more important than giving it up for a narrowly focused MS magnet. But that's a personal decision for those simply lucky enough to get to choose. And either choice is a good/valid one.[/quote]
