[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child did not do immersion and is fine now. [b]She spoke to a friend[/b] who did and they admitted that when they switched to a normal middle school, they had to do a lot of work catching up in terms of the english vocabulary everyone else had picked up naturally. I don't see there being a point, given that we live in an English speaking country and it will just put your kid behind later in life.[/quote] I realize this is anecdata, but for what it is worth, my kids attended the MS magnets (one at Eastern, one at TPMS) and both had good friends who had done language immersion in ES and who seemed to do just fine in terms of "English vocabulary." Those kids are all in HS now, and still thriving. [/quote]
