[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my case it’s because I’m a Latina married to an American that doesn’t speak Spanish. I want my kids to learn Spanish to communicate with my family (they speak Spanish now but are not as fluent as English). I also think Spanish is an important language to speak. It’s spoken in so many places. It’s definitively a great plus on your resume. That being said, we didn’t get into any Spanish immersion school. [/quote] It's not a great plus if your science, math, and social studies suffer along with your academic English. Good for some, but not for all as many have already stated for many differing reasons. [/quote] That's a big if. Some kids are in the 99th percentile in math and 94th in English at immersion schools. (And social studies isn't tested by NAEP, but I'm not worried the monolinguals have an edge in that after all.)[/quote]
