I was speaking fluently by the time grade 1 was over.
Besides, do you really want your parents teaching you crappy English before you start school? I knew some guy that was born here that has a Chinese accent speaking English, but yet also has an English accent speaking Chinese. Why? Because his parents kept speaking crappy English to him. That messed him up for life.

Well the kids from my songs school had a hard time learning the language, and it was very hard on the teachers. Not to mention, it also makes it difficult for the child to socially interact with other students
