[quote=Anonymous]At our MS, the "Advanced Readers" approximately 20% of the class are recommended to take a foreign language instead of Reading in 6th Grade. If you were not in this high group, you were recommended for "Advanced Reading 6th Grade" which is the same class but some diffentiation is done within the class. IM was similar for the "Advanced Math" kids and about the same %, maybe slightly lower like 15%. My DD was recommeded for IM but not Foreign Language, which we thought was appropriate. If you feel strongly about going moving your child up or down, talk to their 5th grade teacher. We thought about moving DD down from IM after talking with other parents and knowing DD. Glad we didn't, the class is good level for DD and she easily gets A's in IM. She would have been bored in Math 7th. Never thought about pushing for Foreign language. DD not a top reader. But ultimately if your feel strongly, try to get it changed. Be proactive.[/quote]
