[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You think this is a... bad thing for your English-speaking kids? I've been half-tempted to move to get mine into a dual immersion program. Learning a language and becoming bilingual is such an amazing life skill! (And to get to do it in your own neighborhood school rather than being bussed to some far-away immersion program with kids who are scattered all over the place! And to not have to feel bad about scooping up the bilingual teachers for English-speaking kids but instead knowing Spanish-speaking kids get to benefit too!)[/quote] Also wish my kids had easy access to an immersion school. I think it’s disappointing as well that foreign language isn’t a standard subject in all elementary schools in the county (whether or not immersion). Research is pretty clear that 1) foreign language is learned better at younger ages; 2) kids who learn more than one language end up better at both languages.[/quote]
