[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that we are facing middle school and have only one option for the language my child has been learning for 6 years, I regret not having her learn Spanish. There are many more options to continue with Spanish than the language she is learning. I didn't realize she would love it so much and want to continue. [/quote]

I regret spending middle school, high school, and some college learning French now that my kids are in a Spanish language charter. I wouldn't be fluent still but would be able to talk with teachers and understand PTA meetings (before they translate into English). French was fun but I didn't use it enough to remember it well.

I was worried about my kid this year ... started in PreK4 instead of PreK3 like most the class and no Spanish speaking adults at home, unlike most their class. But all a sudden, after winter break, he is using much more Spanish vocab. Hopefully the teachers will report understanding better too. Regardless, we will do Spanish summer camp and supplement as necessary. Right now we just require any TV time to be in Spanish or that he watch the same show first in Spanish and then English.

In terms of regret, even with my worries, I have none. Cognitively he's made huge leaps this year, doesn't mind when he can't understand something, and we love the school. Love love it. [/quote]
