[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello! Does anyone know if full language immersion students have the same opportunities for math acceleration in elementary school as non-immersion students? My neighbor (whose kids recently graduated from high school) said that they were told that they should expect immersion kids to be behind in math because of learning the subject in a second language...

I can't speak to your specific school or district, but my kid at an immersion school did qualify for math acceleration in elementary; however, I supplemented math at home because I wouldn't say I liked the idea of them only learning math in a second language, and I ended up switching to Beast Academy, which is rigorous and teaches deeper thinking, so I think that is why my DC tested so high.  I doubt DC would've scored high on tests without the work we do at home together, as DC is bright but not profoundly gifted.  Beast Academy is cute, and we quite enjoy doing it together, so it has never felt like homework.  [/quote]
