[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree too.  I kept my son (gr 6) in reading this year just to avoid the situation OP described even though he was eligible to begin a language.  The supposed plus is enhancing your HS transcirpt by allowing time for more classes.  If colleges like 4 years of language you can accomplish 2 in MS and then have space for other interests in HS.  I think you maybe able to retake a HS class you took in MS to improve the grade.  Not 100% on that though.[/quote]

OP here,  I don't really understand how it enhances the transcript though.  I mean, if my child's high school transcript starts with Spanish 3, then surely the college will put 2 and 2 together and figure out that he took 1 and 2 in middle school.  It's not like they're going to say "OK we have two applicants, both finished IB Spanish 6, but only one took Spanish 1, so we'll choose him".

Same thing with math.  If my kid takes Algebra 2 in high school, surely the colleges will figure out that he, at some point somewhere, took Algebra 1.  [/quote]
