[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HS transcripts start with 9th grade. The gamesmanship of this idea is solid.  Just work with your daughter to understand the thought process behind it.  If it's a way to get an easy A on HS transcript, think of the lesson that teaches.  If it is way to better prepare her with a solid foundation in a foreign language- stress that point.  Students who struggle in advancing language classes often didn't have a strong enough grasp of the foundation. It's not the worst idea. [/quote]

It is not gamesmanship.  Some kids just are awful at languages.  I have an ADHD kid who barely pulled out a decent grade.  A repeat, especially during COVID years where kids barely spoke, is beneficial to learning foreign language foundations.  [/quote]
I have a kid with ADHD who took 1a in 6th, 1b in 7th (virtual the whole year), repeated 1b in 8th, and still needed to start over with 1 this year, in 9th grade. There was no gamesmanship; she just really struggled and I knew she couldn’t possibly pass 2 if she hadn’t learned much of the content in 1. It’s no easy A for her, even after this much time.[/quote]
