[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son stayed in immersion instead of going to the AAP center at 3rd grade, and he's now in 9th grade Spanish III, and also Alg II H and didn't even blink. He effectively "caught up" with the kids in the AAP center when they all enrolled in HS because they are in the same classes now regardless of which elementary and middle school they went to. Our elementary school did have advanced math in 6th grade, but it was driven by the number of students in the class that were ready for that material as opposed to the course being implemented school-wide.

Your son did how many years of immersion- 7years at least and he is only in Spanish 3 in 9th grade? Don't some kids take Spanish 1 for high school credit in 7th or 8th grade? [/quote]

Yes, my son took Spanish I in 7th, and Spanish II in 8th, both for HS credit, and now he's in Spanish III in 9th grade - not sure what you are asking though - that's the regular course sequence. Aside from summer school or testing out (which I'm not sure FCPS would allow for non-native speakers) that's the fastest that you can move through those courses. That said, the MS we were at was not keen on putting him in Spanish I as a 7th grader - we had to go in and have a discussion about that to get his placement correct. [/quote]
