has been in a Russian immersion program at his school for the past two years (kindergarten and first grade). The entire class is conducted in Russian in the morning. I think it's a good thing. He's learning a lot, and, although I can't prove this, I think learning a language at an early age helps with learning in general. My grandson is an excellent reader and loves math - maybe he would have anyway, but my guess is the language immersion has helped.
Now, whether somebody should be "forced" to take a second language is another matter. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Maybe "encouraged" would be a better approach.
