[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly see more cons than advantages. Being taught in a language is different from being conversational or even fluent. The goal of these programs aren’t fluency. Other cons are lack of community and division at the local school. The class sizes get smaller and smaller it’s like an isolated group of kids. Test scores in reading and math are after lower. [/quote] Not at our school but that might be because the kids in LI who were selected for AAP stayed for the LI program and the kids in the regular program selected for AAP moved to the Center. Far more kids in Advanced Math in the LI program then the regular class, as in half the LI program was in Advanced Math and only 10% of the regular program kids. There is no easy way to compare the test scores for reading because you cannot divide the SOL by LI and non-LI. [/quote]
