Just wanted to ask you guys about your opionion in the value of French immersion in this English dominat province. My kid will start Kindergarten next year and I always thougth a second language will be beneficial to most kids.
Then I came across this article.

"Bilingualism isn’t easy, and unless you are immersed in another language outside of school, you may never become fluent. Also, French-immersion teachers are in extremely short supply, and not all of them are competent."
"But if you actually expect your child to wind up speaking fluent French, you might be disappointed. Attrition rates are high, and language proficiency is surprisingly low."
If you have attended or your kids are attending French immersion schools, please share your opionions with me. Thanks.
