[quote=Anonymous]18:57 I totally disagree. We live in a country where a rapidly growing segment of the population is Hispanic, therefore, if your DC chooses to go into politics, the language can only help; if he seeks a job with international links, real fluency in a foreign language will give an edge and expand opportunities. There is no comparison between the level of language learning through a full immersion program (up to 35 his per week of foreign language) compared to non-immersion programs (a total 1 to 5 hours per week.) Your child is not committed to staying in one school for 13 years, you can always move him later, after he has the language fluency. But there its truly a small window to start to acquire true fluency. Even at WIS, students starting in later elementary grades are not placed in full immersion classes.[/quote]
