Register Q. Last
week there was a question about second-language learning. I didn't
know if you were aware that both Capistrano Unified and Saddleback
Valley Unified have two-way Spanish language immersion programs.
They are much cheaper than private lessons, they are free! My own
children, now in 11th and 12th grades, have been in this program
since kinder, I can't tell you how beneficial it has been
academically, socially, emotionally.... I could go on and
on...
