[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest child is too young to be going through the AAP drama yet (he's in 1st grade) but we already know that we'll turn down AAP should it be offered. He's in one of the local spanish immersion programs, and I think learning a second language is faaaarrrr more important than anything he could get out of AAP. [/quote] +1 A second language is a life long skill. I can't say extra math in 5th grade is going to be used when you are an adult. It's actually great fun to say that you turned down AAP. Sometimes I leave off the fact that we are in a language immersion school, just to watch the parents squirm. Most parents jaws drop too when I say I don't speak the language that my kids studies - so my kids do their homework - I literately cannot help them. [/quote]
