[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Conducted the interview in Spanish. My child is not fluent in Spanish. I am conversational, and the HOS was fluent. She started asking questions in Spanish, and my child (8) answered in complete sentences, but the answers did not match the questions. HOS:Where do you live? My kid: I have 1 brother. HOS: Do you have a dog? My kid: I eat grapes. She asked me, in Spanish, if I knew how poorly this was going. Claro. That did not end in "thick envelope" way. [/quote] This story actually made me smile. It's kind of cute and pure comedy from the outside, although I'm sure it wasn't funny to live through if you really wanted your child to attend that school. But given the circumstances, I suspect you found a better match for your child/family than this school! So... why are they expecting an 8yr old to already be fluent? Crazy.[/quote]
