[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, the overzealous drank-the-koolaid parents that ask "how could you not give your child such a precious gift?"[/quote] This.[/quote] I suppose we might feel less secure about just speaking our second language at home (and not even so often now) and opting for pure academics if my husband had not had a similar experience, and even less exposure to the language from age 7 until he took it in 7th grade, and now no one would ever know he had some years where he did not speak it for long periods and did not know how to read or write it properly until high school. We made sure it was the first language our kids spoke, the experiment seems to be working. We felt sure of ourselves and really wanted an academic focus - which we still did not feel we got enough of at our JKLM. [/quote]
