MN Native Language Press Release

[Rrlapier at AOL.COM]

Here are some thoughts:

The most important reason for language immersion schools existence is not
academic achievement -- but language revitalization.

The only way to save a language is to teach children the langauge.

Focus on Language Revitalization -- once you make Education the focus you are
in danger.

But, it is the programs that are the strongest in the language and in
rejecting the standard mindsets (public education models) that have been the most
successful academically.

The goal is fluent children.
