[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you speak fluent French?

Have you ever lived in a francophone country, or do you have a significant knowledge of francophone culture?  I'd just like to get a sense of your experience with this.  thanks[/quote]

Hi, I'm not the OP, but I am one of the original people who expressed support for the endeavor. I speak no french whatsoever. Just so happens that someone we all know who started a very successful spanish/french immersion school doesn't speak either language- Linda Moore at Stokes. She was passionate about learning about both languages, their mother cultures and the people. This curiosity lead her to find people with the expertise in the target languages and culture. Those people created the framework for the school and if you've ever been there you'll be quite impressed with how culturally and linguistically competent and accurate the school is. Kudos to Ms. Moore. I hope we can get some info. from her and build upon what she started. Excellent bilingual multicultural education for ALL children.[/quote]
