  • Why do you think going to school in a language is not a short period of acclimation?

    School seems like the perfect time to learn to speak a language. And it’s not a particularly long period of life.

    What’s the alternative? Them not speaking the language of their country at all?

    Rather than falling back, I feel like it puts them ahead of the alternative, because they can now speak the language of their country. More opportunities follow that.

    Maybe their parents can feel resentment like that, I don’t think the children would. If school is a coherent environment, you find your community there. If it enables you to participate into bigger society, that becomes your community too.
