[quote=Anonymous]DS is in Japanese Immersion and was selected for LIV, we deferred services and stayed in the JI program. I know of 2 kids who left JI for the Center but that is it. I am under the impression that most stayed with the language at our school.

Advanced Math was available starting in 3rd and all the Advanced Math JI kids were grouped into one class in 5th grade.

We felt that the language was a challenge that our child enjoyed and wanted to continue. We also know that there are Gen Ed kids who go to the Center and return to the base because they find the social aspect of the Center lacking and the kids are unhappy. I know one of the kids who left JI for the Center said that it has been awful. The parents are keeping the kid there because they would return to the Gen Ed program at our school. The child is doing fine academically but struggling socially.

We see this in the JI program. It is harder for the kids who are out of boundary to hang out and socialize with the kids who like in boundary. There are many more steps required to play or do things. I know that some of the out of boundary kids struggle socially in the program, so it is not a surprise that kids who move to the Center for LIV would have similar issues.[/quote]
