[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the child's interests and goals, as well as what activities the child has access to outside of school. Foreign languages are great, but also be aware that there is debate over whether those middle school years can be used to fulfill the years of foreign language that colleges want: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/30/1103864.page[/quote] So it sounds like taking too much foreign languages at middle school is actually doing harm than good? [/quote] False, if you want to get through the highest APs for FL you need to start in MS. Further, FL requires kids learn to study in ways other subjects don't at MS. I felt it helped prepare DC for HS.[/quote] Do you mean French Language by FL? Can you talk a bit about what was helpful in MS? We are thinking of havibg DC start with French next year in 6th. TIA![/quote]
