[quote=Anonymous]I'm another Claremont parent with a child in kindergarten, and have older children who are in immersion.  I'm shocked that a kindergarten teacher would recommend a tutor.  Maybe they encouraged you to read in Spanish, play Spanish music, expose your child to Spanish language cultures?   Definitely share with your child why you chose immersion for them, but make it relatable.  Don't tell them its to help them get a job someday, that is too far off.  Explain it as an opportunity to make more friends (ability to speak with people who speak only english or only spanish), to learn about cultures and places (though APS has so many people from all over the world this can happen at any ES, immersion schools just have a spanish language culture focus).  Maybe this is a chance for your child to learn about their spanish language heritage or be able to communicate with their spanish speaking relatives.  Whatever your reasons, think about them and explain them to your child in terms they can appreciate.  It can make a surprising difference.[/quote]
