[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do all of you start making trouble, arguing, and offering your own opinions on posts dedicated to swami? She has said before that this immature bickering when nobody asked Amy of you your opinions is the reason she doesn’t want to help. Just list your schools and let’s wait for swami. Stop offering your unsolicited commentary to other people’s lists when they didn’t ask you for it! Good God![/quote]

Yup. This isn’t a place to critique a list. And plus, if poster wanted opinions on that they would have asked in a thread about rate my list or whatever. [/quote]

To Ben fair, Swami is a day late at this point...[/quote]

Either way, nobody is asking for anyone’s opinion on this post. If you aren’t swami keep it to yourself [/quote]

No.[/quote]

But, why be a douche on purpose?[/quote]

A douche on purpose is forcing your poor 5/6 year old to learn mandarin when the other kids have been studying it for two years. "MAKE MOMMY PROUD G-D DANGIT!!!!!! YOU LOVED DCPS SPANISH CAMP AND THAT IS THE SAME THING!!!!!!"[/quote]

Seriously, people do this all the time.  Calm down.[/quote]

Possibly but it still doesn't mean it's a good idea. [/quote]

Obviously it's a bad idea for your kid - and nobody knows better than you that your kid clearly isn't up to the challenge.  Of course, there are plenty of children who are, and for them it makes sense.[/quote]

Your put-downs are funny.

I actually have done the leg work to make sure my kids speak three languages. It is very hard. These parents who put their kids in an immersion school - any school- confuse me. I don't understand how they think their 5/6 year old can possibly catch up without SIGNIFICANT effort- not just a 2 week trip to China or Montreal. You do you- but your children aren't remotely bilingual. [/quote]

Funny, because true.

Some children can learn a second language much later than others.  I have a good friend whose accent is indistinguishable from the average citizen, she arrived here at age 12 speaking no English at all.

We get it.  Based on your personal experience it is simply impossible to learn another language at age 5 and beyond.  It's great that you won't be taking up a seat then for a child who can.  Go merrily on your way, confident that you've made the best decision for your own family especially with their limitations in mind.[/quote]
