[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No dog in this game, but is AP Spanish and option after Spanish 3 at the school?  I am asking because in our school district at an AdvAcademy MS the language courses progress faster, so kids are ready for AP foreign language classes after just 3 years.  Yes, that means AP in 9th.[/quote]

Yes, there is Spanish 4 and then AP Spanish at TJ.  But most kids have had enough after TJ Spanish 2 torture, so take outside Spanish 3 during summer at FCPS, and call it quits.  Very few students who are more associated with spanish culture/speakers go for TJ Spanish 4.

I was looking for ways to mitigate this roadblock,  by taking a course outside TJ, taking AP Spanish exam only, or do something else, to address the fourth year language preference that many colleges like UVA seem to have.  [/quote]

Do most stop because their interests are elsewhere? It was a long time ago but I went to school for engineering.  I stopped Spanish asap after Spanish 3 so I could have more room in my schedule for advanced math and science classes.  I took some electives but there were higher priorities for me than a FL.
