[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Skip Spanish unless there is a specific reason to get it. TJ Spanish goes out of it's way to be difficult. Which would not be an issue, except that they seem to take pride in giving low grades, and the class isn't weighted. IME!  Spanish I is fine, but but Spanish II is brutal. Lots of kid bailing into online Spanish III.

BTW-- Spanish III is the only not AP foreign language class offered online at TJ (except the full Korean sequence, because Korean is not offered at TJ). This gives kids who suffer through Spanish III a chance to bail out of TJ Spanish after Spanish II.  The fact TJ gave up and started allowing kids to do this to get their 3rd year of Spanish without sitting through a TJ version of the class, and for Spanish only, should tell you everything you need to know about the TJ Spanish program.

You have been warned...[/quote]

Thanks!  Does one have to take language in consecutive years without a break? Or can one do Spanish 2 in 9th grade and Spanish 3 in 11th with no language in 10th?

Also, if one chose to do Korean will their entire Language education be offline (9th period)?  How would that work?  [/quote]

PP and meant to add. If you can take online Korean, and you are using it for your language credit, you can't take it as a 9th period class.  Online classes that fulfill graduation requirements must be taken as part of the regular school day-- usually as your first period class at TJ or at home.  The only exception is EPF, which can be taken as a 9th period class.  Ditto for your 4th history. But you can take things like AP psych or Korean as a second language 9th period. [/quote]
