Re: New Brunswick info
French school: Now my children are not in the French school here in Fred' but it is completely french, I dont know if they do any english lessons at all in their studies but I do know that even at recess ( break-time) they are expected to speak french even if their first language is english.
English is taught and they were certainly encouraged to speak French aside from in English.
Lots of school things seem strange to me compared to when I was at school in Bristol. I don't know if it's the French system, Canadian system or even that it's all the same and has changed from back in my school days.
Two semesters instead of three terms. Subjects can change in the second half of the school year. The timetable doesn't go Monday to Friday, it does day one to day 5 instead.
Does anyone with recent experience in UK and Canada systems know what I'm on about?
