[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So glad we chose Oyster and have stayed for jr. high. We're planning to move to MoCo next year, hoping to crack Richard Montgomery IBDP (probably the strongest pu;lic IBDP in the US).

Sorry folks, [b]you can't do language immersion well wi/out native speakers in class (unless you have them at home). And you can't blow IB Diploma exams out of the water wthout doing language immersion right[/b]. higher level IB exams are a whole lot harder than AP on DCUM. This mirrors my own experience as a teenager in suburban NJ. I remember being stunned when I got a 4 of 7 on IBD Spanish at my private school after scoring 5 on AP Spanish. I expect my kids to beat me "hands down" as the objecting poster likes to say. Call me a witch, too. Problem is, I'm right babe.

You can't?  Then why are the Germans and Czechs [u]so[/u] good at English?  Sometimes they're more grammatically correct than many Americans.  And, it's not as if Americans are invading Central Europe to teach English.   :wink:

Gee!  What if you CAN teach a target language, given enough dedication, time, and resources?  The evidence says yes, but there's a bitter heritage dad on the intertubes, so maybe we should be skeptical.    :mrgreen: [/quote]
