After talking with our extended family (on both sides), our one child missing out on Early Immersion is going to cost the Liberals around 40 votes that they would have had otherwise. 40 votes from one child. How many kids enroll in Early Immersion every year? I wrote the affected MLA's and told them about this figure but I received no response (assuming they actually read it).

It was a disaster from day one. A lot of people I knew had their educations screwed up by this program. So I guess I have a unique perspective when it comes to Great New Ideas from the Dept. of Education. I was in the pilot program of the foundation block in 1995 at Moncton High School.

If an 11 yr old realizes it, it must be pretty obvious. Maybe a week with a prepubescent girl would show him a thing or two. I've got a fiesty one that I could use a break from and while she's there, she could talk his ear off in french and teach him a thing or two. He's bound to change his mind after a week.

I've seen it referenced in news articles and would like to read it.

Not surprised that he's using the stats though. What else has he got to support his claims? If they don't use Croll/Lee they'll have to trot out fortune cookies and horoscopes to show how their plan will work. Willms and Shelly Grahamrock (I figure they've been a couple long enough that they deserve a 'Brangelina' or 'Bennifer' type title) are running out of options.
