There are about six hours a day, five days a week, 9 months a year (or so) for children in elementary school to receive instruction in school.  At a time when the most critical skills involve technology, STEM, as well as critical and analytical thinking, to make the major objective of the curriculum French immersion is to put them behind before they even start.

Yes - some kids handle it beautifully.   Many don`t, for a variety of reasons. 

In ten years, automated language translation will be refined.  Technology skills, STEM and critical thinking won`t be.   It`s great to be able to speak another language or two or three or four and is a valuable skill and will continue to be one, however, some people need to focus on acquiring skills that will serve them in life if working in communications isn`t  their focus.   

I also find it interesting that `English immersion` is close to non-existent and Quebec does best in Canada when it comes to international math assessments.
