A 50-50 program does sound better, especially when you are talking about 4 year olds starting school. They still need to learn English in addition to the new language and the French Immersion we went to (Varsity Acres) really went full out French and almost forgot to teach them any English skills.
She's currently Grade 3 and about a grade ahead of the class now in reading and writing so I imagine when we try again in Grade 7 it will be a little more successful.
