[quote=Anonymous]We come from a European country where children who aren't being raised bilingual by a native speaker of a language don't start learning a 2nd language in a govt school until age 8 or 9. This approach is the norm in Europe. Educators understand the importance of gaining and developing literacy in one's native language before adding a 2nd language. In DC, monolingual parents are often in a big rush for a kids to gain literacy in a 2nd language they can't reinforce at home. We don't get it.[/quote]
