text: Why bother with immersion? Why bother with a "more enriching, challenging, ambitious learning environment" for children in grade 3? I see the stress my grade 7 daughter faces in her wonderful, supportive (non-immersion) school. Who can predict the job market in 10 years?  As adults we have decades of work to support ourselves and our families. I say more play, more exercise, and less work is better for our kids and our country.
