[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with 11:00..I saw it in our school which has partial immersion.  Those kids are excluded from high math because it is not taught in Chinese.  I guess that issue will fade since accelerated math seems to be fading.[/quote]

This may depend on the particular immersion program.  We've had a positive experience with a Spanish immersion program.  We were worried about our daughter entering K at her home school for fear she would be bored but fortunately she was accepted into Spanish immersion.  Learning in another language is in itself a challenge, but in addition to that our daughter's school provides her with appropriate level reading materials and she attends math class with a grade level ahead of her (she's now in 2nd grade but attends 3rd grade math).  Sometimes we do wish she had even more accelerated work, but we've been satisfied thus far with our overall program.  I would note that you have to advocate for your child from the start in order to ensure the school differentiates appropriately.  We started communicating with her K teacher at the beginning of the school year and conveyed information about her reading and math skills in order to ensure that she received appropriate work for her level.
