John Hanson French Immersion School
While this program is a wonderful opportunity for our children to begin to get the skills to compete in our increasingly growing global world. It lacks the dimensions of a successful 4 or 5 dimensional foreign language program.
This is school is attempting to blend the old way of education our children. Stringent, monotone delivered, uninspiring, stays in your seat philosophy and cram down French words. That has not worked in the past when our children were being taught English. I believe this school would benefit greatly if they decided to use all resources to make the program more multi dimensional in a way to engage and hold children’s attention. As a parent; I would definitely get behind that with all resources.
