[quote=Anonymous]Several kids went from DC's immersion school to HGCs. Other bright kids didn't bother to test for HGCs because language was the priority. Re the loss of English language skills, PP's are right to say that, to the extent this happens, it wouldn't affect the HGC test results very much (and if it doesn affect verbal scores, the HGC panels will realize the kid is in immersion). In any case, my understanding is that English language skills do lag for a few years, but immersion kids are actually better in English by middle school.[/quote]
