[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about being able to transfer from French to Spanish? Can people actually do this?[/quote] Yes, lots of kids, especially native Spanish speakers, switch over as space becomes available. I'm of two minds on it: I get that those families want to reinforce their own heritage, but I think that the value of a [i]third[/i] language is huge, and it's a little sad to see the cohort being broken up. I heard one parent say recently that they went from 8 native Spanish speakers in their K French class down to 1 by 3rd grade. Seems a little short-sighted. [/quote]
