[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am having some struggles understanding the culture around the immersion school my kids go to. It seems that so many families don't care and don't even try to speak the immersion language. I get that they may never speak it, but is it hard to at least try to seem interested? At a recent 1st grader's birthday party, the parents didn't even know the happy birthday song in that language. After 4 years of their kid immersed in that language?? I just don't get it. Can anyone explain to me? It seems such a waste to have kids in an immersion school if the parents aren't supporting/encouraging it Rant over.[/quote] Wow. The audacity! Have you even considered the families that almost exclusively speak the target language you are immersing your child in? Let me guess, those kids aren’t invited to your birthday parties? News flash: immersion only works with those kids (whose parents don’t complain about which language happy birthday is in.)[/quote]
