I recently had a question from a mom on the phone. She has to send her son to French school by law, but she doesn't speak any French herself. Her kid is having trouble at school and the mom wants to pull him out, but she asks me if she has to homeschool him in French, and how she might do that if she doesn't speak any French?!
If she homeschools him in English but is registered in the French system, won't they want to evaluate him in French?
I spoke with AQED about it and here's the scoop:
