Look at the benefits of the current Dual-track system has, why you still want to take away the good things from our children? If the School Board approves the proposal, then you will hear the cry from a lot kids who enroll the French program as they won't see their English friends in the same school anymore. How can you let this happen? How can you hurt our children's feeling & take away their happy?

By mixing the two streams in one school we are building a community of students who are accepting of differences. The dual track also establishes even higher standards within the dual track school.
Dual track language schools are one of the beacons of the Regina Public system. We face extensive ed. challenges, don't kill DTFI

Furthermore, to CHANGE the above arrangement would totally disrupt the learning of French for at least 30% to 40% of children who are already in the French program would likely not move to a "special" CENTRE, hence would have to drop French.

I do not see this as a beneficial way to educate our children in a climate of multiculturalism, which is what Canada is. I also do not believe it is right to segregate any part of the population in the interests of saving money. There are many other issues that should be involved in this decision and it is my hope that they all get addressed and not pushed aside.

Exposure to french by young people - even those who are not in an immersion program - is critical to fostering understanding, tolerance and hopefully, interest in the french language and culture. In an officially bilingual country like Canada, removing french from the regular school system is a step backwards, not forwards.

Collaboration is the key to the future. We need to embrace language, and allow it to flourish - not allow it to become something that "brands" our children. These very children will become our leaders with open minds, strong spririts, and who hold an appreciation for language and culture. I encourage you to strongly reconsider your plans. Be sure the messages you are sending are appropriate regarding segregation, and differences.
