Minister Lamerock has announced his new plan for French Second Language in New Brunswick.  It's not our desired outcome but it's much better than the plan layed out in March.  The new entry point is grade three.

It's still a messy situation for parents of kids entering grade one if their neighborhood school does not have immersion.  It also doesn't work for families who move in and out of the province.

For more on the topic, check out the blogs listed on my blogroll to the left. Immersion delayed, La Maison, The Independant.

While we didn't acheive the ideal outcome, I'm pretty proud to have been involved in my first political lobbying.   It's a great example to show the kids.  How ordinary people can affect change and to stand up for what you beleive in.   And I don't think the fight is over.
