I believe immersion is never something bad :) Your daughter will get to learn a second language, master it, and it can be important for her future. When I was in 6th grade, I went for English immersion. I'm francophone. I think this was one of the best choices I've made in my life and surely don't regret it. Now, I am studying Spanish and German and wish to extend my knowledge and travel.
Languages are precious tools.

I would definatly do it. I'm in gr. 9 and I wish I could speak french sooo badly. In some 7-8 schools like mine they have an extended french so it jsut brings them up a grade level, but it's easier for kids to learn languages while they're young. They learn sooo much more there than they ever will otherwise. I wish I had done that. This is so much more of an easier way to learn french than to when you're older to struggle to learn it. It will also help later in life while looking for careers and such (for your child)
I think it is a wonderful idea and that you should do it.

I think it is a wonderful idea. The younger students' learn a foreign language, the better. Being bi-lingual will be very beneficial to your daughter later in life. She may be offered additional jobs that require its employees to know an additional language. Overall, I just think knowing more than one language can be rewarding in general and an accomplishment your daughter can be proud of. I took just two years of spanish and I regret it. I am going into education, and I have heard that understanding a foregin language can be helpful.

Definitely. Second language is easiest to acquire at an early age when the brain is still developing and rapidly making new connections. It has also been scientifically proven that students who study another language score consistently higher on SAT and ACT college entrance exams. You are providing your daughter with opportunites that few get, and are buying insurance for her future. How much better can it get than that?
