[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My searching skills are failing me. Please humor me.

Are there any public universities in Virginia that don't require a foreign language in high school and that would accept a mediocre student? I am having a horrible time trying to find a list. DS is just staring high school so I'm not up to speed on how one researches college opportunities these days. [/quote]

Tell your kid to take a foreign language.  Come on now.  [/quote]

It could be that the OP's child has a learning disability that makes learning a foreign language especially difficult.  A one-size-fits-all approach won't work well for such a kid.

Dyslexia (and other special needs issues) and a foreign language are proving not to mix well. School is advising he drop the class, and say he doesn't need it to graduate. I have no idea what a waiver is or how to get it. But I also can't seem to find a list of public schools for a kid who will be nowhere near the top of his class that don't require a language.

Is American Sign Language offered? That’s what my LD student is doing. [/quote]
