[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not? My "little bean" doesn't believe you.[/quote] Beans, plural. Children, plural. Not your individual child. If your child is middle school aged or older, would they really want to attend a school of "little green beaners"? The point is, something as basic as the potential name should not sound juvenile bordering on ridiculous to native-level French speakers. Multi-lingual Africans, like myself, might see the proposed name idea as at best a bad a pun on Mundo Verde. If the idea is to create a "green" school, then by all means it makes sense that the charter teacher and others who have not gotten into other charters for preschool should go ahead. Language immersion is not for monolingual amateurs who think it would be nice for their now-toddlers to speak (if not read, write, joke and calculate) another language. It is difficult to do well in the best of circumstances. [/quote]
