alt Hacker News> I had a friend whose son was placed in French immersion (a language he doesn't speak at all).
In my entire french immersion Kindergarden class, there was a total of one child who already spoke French. I don't think the fact that he didn't speak the language is the concern.
In what sense is it "immersion" if there are only one or two French speakers in the room (the teacher and an assistant?)??
