[quote=Anonymous]For me, my kid is at a Tier II HRC but I value an early bilingual education and I knew my kid would be a top performer. There are studies that having high performing kids mixed with low performing kids helps the low performing kids improve while does not help the high performer. But I think that is more applicable to the higher grades. If you do any "word gap" research and the role of parents reading to kids daily and engaging in thoughtful conversations, that is the most important until about the 3rd grade or so. Also, back in my youth those testing for AP courses and cramming trivia in their head seemed to be less analytical than those who did Intl. Bac. It depends on the type of testing. There is a difference between spelling bee type of knowledge and analytical writing. Memorizing history dates and understanding the role of primary sources and critiquing historian bias. [/quote]
