Once again an excellent initiative in Canada is being destroyed by bureaucratic mismanagement.    From my experience as a parent of four French Immersion students, I can say for sure this program is in danger of becoming a joke.  We need to have more qualified French teachers.  The present system undermines English literacy of the students while pretending to teach them French.  The end result is below-standard literacy in both English and French.  Does it sound like another example of Canadian mediocrity?
