Default Re: which one is correct??

Don't forget that Canada also has French as an official language, it is a biligual country. All products in stores have English and French on them. I live in B.C. and we have lots of French Immersion schools where kids are taught by teachers using French from day one of Kindergarten. In Grade Three they start introducing English reading and writing as a small part of their day. As English is their first language kids seem to manage ok. By High School they have all English classes except for Social Studies, French and PE. They graduate as ready to pursue higher education in either English or French.
There are also some kids who go to late Immersion when they get to Grade 6. Their classes are in French from Grade 6 to high school and then the same as above.
