[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find that students in the AAP program that don't pass all of the requirements ARE or AREN'T ready, and the general education students that do pass all of the tests AREN'T ready. If the General Students can't pass a CogAt test, how will they survive Algebra 1 HN?  [/quote]

And where do you get this data? 
My DS, who turned down AAP to stick with an immersion program, was placed in honors Algebra as an 7th grader, (so he did his pre-algebra earlier and in a different language) got As and is getting As in Honor Geometry.  There is actually a slight downside, for IB students, since you can't take the IB HL exams as a junior. (and don't start slamming IB, please note we are an immersion family, and need IB to go to college overseas)[/quote]

Sorry can't do. Thanks for adding another reason in my book to get rid of IB at most schools. Why do parents think this is some sort of private school to get their child into an overseas college! Have four IB schools -North, South, East, and West and be done with the program besides these.[/quote]
