[quote=Anonymous]What language is spoken at home? My kids go to an immersion school and I'm not familiar with the test you are referencing. But English is our home language. I know a few years back one of our neighbor's kids tested low on some english test (not in the immersion program). He had to take it because when they moved back to the States, English was not their primary language due to being overseas (parents speak multiple languages, kid was not at an "american" school). So he's in the school's system as a non-native speaker. He didn't do well on the test, despite the fact that he is AAP center and was in 4th or 5th grade and was using 50 cent words like a kids studying for the SATs. We all got a big kick out it. We figured most of us wouldn't do to well on it then - most likely testing grammar we don't remember. The parents were pretty calm about it. They knew that their kid was fine in their language skills.[/quote]
