[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The downside is that she can’t skip a language senior year where is if she does French for junior year, and wants to have more room in your schedule senior year, it’s OK to stop taking it after yeR four[/quote]
NP. I don’t understand what you’re saying. Couldn’t she meet the graduation requirement by taking French 1 in 9th grade and French 2 in 10th grade? It’s great to take a foreign language for more years, but it’s not required.[/quote]

Many colleges “recommend” four years of language.   I think that’s the requirement PP meant.  [/quote]
Interesting; my child’s counselor always says that colleges like to see two years (different levels) of the same foreign language taken during high school regardless of what you did in middle school, as though it doesn’t matter what the levels are.

My child’s middle school was a middle years IB school, so she is in Spanish 4 as a ninth grader. She really didn’t want to take Spanish 5, but the counselor is telling her it’s pretty important to have two years of foreign language in high school. DD is really wishing she hadn’t come into high school at such a high level.[/quote]
