Our experience of going to schools in France has been very enjoyable. The schools are happy to accept children who speak no French, and give them a top-class education. Many departments(部门)in France have special teachers who move from school to school giving French lessons to new arrivals.

　　The French education system, like the health system, gains high fame(名声)(but the French government receives a number of complaints from the locals that the education system doesn’t fully prepare children for jobs and working life).

　　We have few complaints about the French education system. Perhaps the “equality” of teaching slows the progress of the very brightest children, but generally it seems to work very well.

　　In larger cities it is possible to find international schools which teach in English, but younger children will benefit more, I think, from attending a “normal(正常的)” local school.

　　There is a danger when there are so many foreign students in a school that they gather together，speaking English, and fail to integrate(融合)with the local students. More commonly, the local students accept the foreign students rapidly into their circle.

　　It is often said that a child will be fluent in French after a couple of months in a French school. More often , after 2-3 months the child can speak simple French, but it needs 6-12 months to be considered fluent, sometimes longer. This process is longer and harder for children over about 10 years old.
