[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latin offers BC calculus as well as AP French and Chinese and Advanced Chinese for students who are done with AP. There are some 9th graders taking PreCalculus and 8th graders taking advanced language classes. [/quote] Fabulous, right? Not quite. The "advanced" 8th grade language classes aren't serious by any reasonable standard. They would have been if the immersion ES kids' language skills hadn't slipped egregiously in 5th, 6th and 7th grades. As for Advanced Chinese for students who are done with AP, we're native Chinese speakers who've tutored a couple of these students at both YuYing and Latin. As juniors, the Chinese students barely scraped passes on AP Mandarin, which is the AP test of three dozen where the most test takers score 5s nationally (more than 80%). BASIS has 7th and 8th graders taking PreCalculus. Latin has a handful of 9th graders in PreCalc. Latin just started offering BC Calc. I could go on.[/quote]
