[quote=Anonymous]Clearly, APS & FCPS do more foreign language work at the elementary level, but how does that impact the kids when they hit secondary school? Do the kids who studied these languages in elementary get to skip directly into Spanish II, French II, etc. and accelerate through the World Language curriculum? Or does their earlier work just make it easier for them when they take Spanish I, etc. in Junior High? When it comes to earning actual HS credits in foreign language, it would seem that Alexandria is equal to Arlington (8th graders in ACPS can take Spanish II, German II ,Latin II, Chinese II, & French II), and superior to FCPS, where kids appear to take an exploratory course in 7th, and Spanish I, French I, etc. in 8th.
