However, this is a time when kids should be learning to speak English, i.e. learning the proper nouns, verbs, sentence formation, etc. It takes long enough to learn that, without muddying the picture by forcing these children to learn another language.
Once again, having an optional program is fine, but I don't think it should be instituted as a part of the school day in that way.

I honestly don't think that having the kids in J & S Kindergarten having 1/2 & 1/2 classes is a bad idea... after all I took the same thing (except English & French).
It's just meant to give some sort of grounding in the bare basics - ie. what is an "apple"... not to teach grammar; that's usually for later grades.
