When my 2 girls were in school ( 36 and 37 now) in French Immersion
they had several teachers. Some subjects were in French, and some in
English - plus music - so AT LEAST 3 teachers - and that was grades 1
to 6.
Those taking "core french" had an english teacher and a french
teacher - in the same classroom. The french teacher went from room to
room teaching French to different classes.


Quebec or Parisian French? It was amusing in my high school when the
teachers tried to teach their version of French to kids who were
immersed in their version of French at home.

Hard to imagine today but how to speak Latin was also a hot topic
between the public school and Catholic school kids. Who said Latin is a
dead language?
