[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think the math, science, social studies is as good in the immersion programs as in the neighborhood schools?[/quote]

No.[/quote]

Math and science are two courses taught EXCLUSIVELY in Spanish.

So that means instruction must be simplified and slowed down to allow Spanish learning to happen at the same time.

[b]We have a DD, and math and science are already discouraging for girls enough [/b]we literally didn’t want it to be a foreign language.

Immersion is really for those with a Spanish speaking parent or who had a Spanish speaking nanny/Au pair. Two working parents, and a good neighborhood school, why are you punishing your family?  You don’t learn Spanish for “free” there are costs. [/quote]

I'm not a PC person and I don't want to call it sexist. But this type of mentality definitely won't help your DD in learning math and science.

FWIW I'm a mom with STEM background. I have two sons but if I have a daughter I would never say such things to her (or to anybody, really). From what I have seen, in early years girls do just as well in STEM as boys do.[/quote]

You misunderstood. I mean society discourages girls from STEM, sorry.  I’m actually a mathematician so it’s important to me. [/quote]
