[quote=Anonymous]If immersion --> bilingualism elevates a child's cognitive skills so measurably and reliably, why is it that none of the bilingual kids I know personally (and know well ) are scholastically superior? That's the piece I can't reconcile. I know what "the studies" like the one upthread conclude. I don't need a bunch of new URLs offered -- I've skimmed the data. Then I consider the bilingual kids I know (Spanish Russian, Japanese and mandarin/Cantonese) and I'm not seeing it. Not in their grades, achievements or class standing. This is middle school by the way -- maybe those slam dunk cognitive payouts happen later, on the SAT and college sweepstakes?[/quote]
