[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you be as against it if the language was French?[/quote] Is there a large enough french speaking population at any school to justify it? I think the dual-immersion program makes perfect sense for Spanish as many schools have a large % of native-Spanish speakers and, after English, it's the most common language spoken in this country. [b]Spanish is required for more and more jobs[/b]. Less common languages like French and Chinese seem more appropriate as opt-in immersion programs rather than moving an entire school to a dual-immersion model.
