[quote=Anonymous]TJ has gotten very, very rigid about course changes in the last couple years.  It is now almost impossible after spring break for upperclassmen and after registration for freshman.

And they will say (correctly, BTW) that getting put in level 2 language was foreseeable— especially in Spanish.   They are always very open about the fact that kids with Spanish 1 often get recommended to restart. And kids with 2 years very often get put in 1.

Honestly, I would think hard before restarting if I were your kid.  Spanish II should be easy for him with some repeat. And it frees up an extra spot or spots he will want junior and senior year.  Getting the language requirement in at TJ can be hard.  I’d take the one year done, and a second easy year as a gift.

You are going to have problems switching. At this point, your kid has an IBET plus math assigned and they are not going to want kids moving around.  If your kids is taking band, orchestra, etc, that’s another Singleton.   Most langage I classes have only 1 section, so if there is a conflict..

You can try.  If you do, bypass Kosatka in student services (who will say no, and enjoybit. Ugghh). And make a plea directly to their guidance counselor. Via email. They are drowning right now. Try to find a better reason that a bad placement test grade— like a desire to study in a country with the target language.

But don’t expect a yes.  The counselors made a pact to say no in exactly this situation for exactlynthis reason (Everytimebtge put an ibet section together, someone changes their kind). [/quote]
