[quote=Anonymous]I'll side with your husband here. As a pp said, these choices and matter for high school pathways and most middle schoolers aren't thinking along those lines. If this is mcps, middle school foreign language classes go on your high school transcript. From the perspective of future college applications, I'm not sure it is the best path to switch languages after only one year - colleges want to see students stick with a language and master it at a high level, not switch year to year. If your school system doesn't have the same policy of counting middle school language classes toward high school (which is a ridiculous policy in my opinion), then I would be much less concerned about my child switching language choice but still would want to talk to her to make sure the choice was fully thought through. Also there are engineering/tech type electives one can take in my kids' mcps middle school that put you onto a certain pathway for classes in high school. So again, I just think that a child's middle school and even high school schedules need parent input and approval. [/quote]
