[quote=Anonymous]Immersion kids end up ahead of AAP kids in middle school!! DO NOT TURN DOWN IMMERSION TO GO TO AAP. My DC is currently taking two high school classes as a 7th grader. AAP kids are only eligible for ONE (if they test in). Honors Algebra placement is based on SOL and Iowa basic test scores. It has NOTHING to do with AAP. Also, as an immersion student you DC will be in be in Language I as a 7th grader. Immersion is a life long skill. I can't say that about AAP. There are plenty of AAP kids at my DC's middle school who laughed at me for turning down AAP to stay in immersion. Their kids are not taking ANY high school classes. My DC in "regular math" at immersion (expect it wasn't regular because it was taught in the target language) got the right SOLs and Iowas test scores. Also, as a bonus, for the language my DCs are learning, college is free. (and acceptance is based on test scores, not quotas by high school) [/quote]
