[quote=Anonymous]My kid got an immersion spot in late October.  He made it to the new school in time for their Halloween party, so there is still hope.

My kid was in the Chinese immersion program and it is a nice program but the amount they learn is small since it is only a half day program. They learned significantly more when they were in MS. They had an excellent, fabulous teacher.  In HS, it became more of a challenge since the teacher favored native speakers. Unfortunately, most kids dropped after level 5 since she really didn’t care for non-native speakers and discouraged them from continuing.  Many did not continue with the AP class and did not take the AP exam. It was sad since they had gone so far.

For parent who are disappointed for not getting in, suggestions for singing songs and babble, weekend classes and exposing your kids to a foreign language at a young age are great. Take the language in MS and they will learn a lot.  It just takes more effort since they are not in an immersion program but it’s worth it. [/quote]
