[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always chuckle when parents are so excited about their kid doing it. It’s a total waste of time and AAP is far superior. I would never give up AAP for that.[/quote]

You don't have to give up AAP. My kids have/had level IV AAP and immersion - in smaller class size than average. [/quote]

You have to give up AAP at a center which would be a much better experience than level IV at an immersion school [/quote]

My kid was at a LI program without LLIV and he did just fine. The Advanced Math group turned into it's own class in 5th grade. Most of the kids qualified for Algebra 1H. He moved into the AAP classes without a hiccup, straight A's. I doubt that LIV at the Center would have been that much better then what he learned in his LI program. And he was exposed to another language, which he has found to be very manageable in MS. He didn't ahve to leave the program fluent at 6th grade, he need to be hearing it and speaking it enough to start to understand it. It gave hima  very dfferent type of challenge in ES, which we appreciated. I am glad that you appreciated the AAP experience, LI was great for my kid. [/quote]
