And conversely, if kids don't continue to actively use their french outside of the immersion program, they will most assuredly lose 80-90% of their fluency. I speak from experience. If they aren't going to continue to use the French actively in social circles, spare them the stress of the immersion program and work on developing them into top-flight English speakers and writers.
