[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost scared to post here but here goes: I will be doing the lottery for my rising PK3-er. I have another kid currently enrolled at a decent DCPS school. We’ve always wanted to have our kids in a Spanish language immersion setting but have lucked out.

My question is, is putting my rising 2nd grader in an immersion setting for the first time a terrible idea? I am a fluent (but not native) speaker and would be able to assist. Kiddo is extremely bright, reading like a champ, and Spanish is phonetic. I further understand that all the immersion schools in our area are 50/50 immersion by that grade level. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks![/quote]

I put my child in a language immersion school for the first time in third grade. Now, in 7th grade, she is caught up with some of her peers, surpassed some, and still trails the language ability of others--particularly those who speak the language at home or have a parent who speaks the language. All in all, it was a good experience, and I don't regret it.[/quote]
