- I'm sorry, I seem to misunderstand. "even if Bill 101 forces most
- immigrants to go to french school, anybody whose parents..." Does this
- mean if your parents attended an english school *Anywhere*? in Canada?
- Quebec? In North America? ????
-
- It seems fairly obvious that either there *are* some restrictions, or the
- poster previous to Phillippe is lying. Given that, (in non-legaleez) what
- are the restrictions? It would be even more enlightening to see these
- compared with similar restrictions in the other provinces; ie - if my
- family speaks french and I live in Ontario/Alberta/etc..., how is it
- decided, who decides, etc... whether my kids get to take all of their
- classes in french?
-
- These answers should be very simple for those who are familiar with the
- system. I would guess that most of us have never seen the regulations, nor
- any worthwhile comparison.
