[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ask this every time parents are in a tizzy about this on this site. What do you hope to gain with enrollment in this program? Show us the data that proves better outcomes than staying at your home school. It smacks of elitism and classicism every time you complain online about your child not getting in it waiting too long to hear back. Go to your home school and do Duolingo for free at home. Then report back when your kid graduates form college to let us know how your kid fared compared to the wealthy white kids demanding to get bussed to another school to learn a language that was native to the majority of their home school population. Gross![/quote]

Wow...most parents just want the best for their children, and for some families that may be learning another language.  Perhaps you should consider that multilingualism is something all parents should want whether your child is a native English speaker or a native speaker of another language.  I wish all home schools offered language exposure whether it's through an immersion program, dual language program, or even a language as a special like art/music, but they don't.  So when I found out about the immersion program, I figured why not enter the lottery.  It has nothing to do with elitism.  In the US, unlike many other countries in the world, schools don't teach other languages in elementary school making it harder for English speakers to ultimately be multilingual, which is a real shame.

Not sure why you needed to chime in with such a nasty comment. [/quote]
