Deafdyke, Yeah, I *really* want to go to ISD for the honours classes and the very good programs there as well as the booming social life. I am thinking about asking them about MSSD but I don't have a lot of information on it. Will search.

What do you mean by mainstreaming? I am mainstreamed since pre-K with no interpreter. I am academic, but I also utterly lack a social life...hopefully OSD, or wherever I go, will have a good balance. *smile*

I agree. My own son code switches like that, and I have noticed that the majority of SRS kids do it, as well. Indicates that they are getting good language foundattions, and learning appropriate social skills.
