[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friend who is a HS principal recommended that we avoid immersion. He said that kids who do language immersion are great at that language but suffer in other subjects like math.[/quote]

My kid is in Language Immersion. He has been in Advanced Math since 3rd, we deferred LIV placement to stay at the base and in LI. None of the kids in 5th grade advanced math, who all took the 6th grade SOL, failed the 6th grade SOL. There were 25 kids in 5th grade Advanced Math who took the 6th grade SOL.

I don’t know what the numbers are for the 5th graders in regular math and LI but I know that over half of the LI kids are in Advanced Math and that none of those kids seem to be struggling with Advanced Math.

I know kids who left LI because they were struggling with math or LA and their parents wanted them to have more focused time on the regular classes. There might be some kids in LI who are struggling more with Math or LA but I would be surprised if any kid selected for LIV is among the ones struggling. You would not be likely to get good GBRSs if you were struggling with math or LA. [/quote]
