ok i want to know your opinnion and see if i made the best desision here. my daughter is starting school this fall. we looked into a couple schools. she passed the test in the english school to skip pre-kindergarden and start at a higher grade. which would be better cause i think she'd be bored in pre k. but my other option is this. i want her to learn french cause all my family is french, we've allready started working on it and where we live it's a necessaty. anyway. i've enrolled her in the french school where she'd start in pre k here instead of skipping a grade. i thought it would be challenging enough for her because it's in a language that she is just starting to learn and this way she gets to be with kids her age. so is it better to skip a grade or go to a french school and stay with kids her age? what is your opinnion on this though. i know she'll be fine in french she's allready starting to pick it up, she can understand but not speak it yet accept for a few words, but she's going to a school where it's mostly english speaking kids going to french schools so she will be at the same lever with her french as everyone else.

Well if she needs to learn french because it is a nessecity in your lives then you should put her in the french school. I'm sure they'll keep her busy enough she won't be bored

i know she'll be busy enough in the french one. i don't think i'd really want to skip her ahead. i want her to interact with kids her age.

I think you did good. At least this way, she will learn at the same rate as everyone else around her, learning a second language at an early age is definitely an advantage.
