[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd go with Spanish 4 for now. You can always talk with someone at the high school about changing that (if necessary), and the middle school teacher may also have a sense of what would be the best fit. Another thing to thing about long-term is college admissions. If your child might be considering highly selective colleges, they tend to prefer 3-4 years of world language during high school. So not much point to rush to do AP language in 9th grade and then be penalized for having only one year of a foreign language.[/quote] My thoughts as well as I approach this situation. My kid has had DLI since first grade, but it the language just has yet to click like other subjects. If selective schools want to see 3-4 years, why not just back and do Spanish 2 in 9, 3 in 10, 4 in 11, and AP in 12? It would be some easy "A"s and could focus on more rigorous math and science classes instead. [/quote]
