In 1982, when section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was adopted, the Canadian Constitution gave linguistic minorities the right to be educated in their own language.

Dans cet épisode, les protagonistes parlent de leur questionnement sur la pertinence de l’école d’immersion pour leurs enfants. Demandez à vos élèves si ce questionnement est encore présent de nos jours lorsque les parents ont à choisir l’école de leurs enfants? Est-ce un choix qu’ils vont considérer lorsqu’ils seront parents? Selon eux, quels sont les enjeux actuels de la francophonie de leur milieu?
