[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/going-beyond-intelligence/202309/second-language-immersion-is-not-always-best-school-choice An alternative perspective on language immersion[/quote] Oh that's interesting. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like bottom line: if you're kid is already doing well AND expressed interest in languages, immersion may be fine but if you've got a SN kid, STEM kid, or kid otherwise very advanced, immersion may not be an ideal choice. I do think that around here, the immersion programs are just another way to hack the system and have your kid surrounded by other mostly UMC kids or kids whose parents care. Thusly, the immersion has fewer low level students, fewer FARMS students and therefore fewer disruptions. So in the end, if you're in a crummy pyramid, parents are still going to step on each other to gain these pots in Mcps. [/quote]
