[quote=Anonymous]Looking for input about whether my 8th grader, who's currently taking Spanish 3 in middle school, should consider repeating Spanish 3 next year in 9th grade rather than moving on to Spanish 4. Kid is doing fine, putting in effort and getting an A, but we just aren't sure if the MS class is being taught at the same level as a HS class.  I have a current 10th grader who is also taking Spanish 3 -- they are in theory covering the same units, but the HS class is conducted entirely in Spanish, and the MS class is definitely not. We're worried that there might be a big gap in jumping to Spanish 4 in 9th grade, and it seems like there may be an opportunity to slow down by repeating, but maybe that would be too boring/repetitive or unnecessary.  Not worried about grade replacement, obviously, just trying to have a solid foundation and also not be overwhelmed in 9th grade (kid will have APUSH and Hon Algebra 2 as other likely challenging 9th grade classes). My kid is going to talk to their teacher and get some advice, and I'll check with the HS counselor, but I was wondering if anybody here had considered this and has thoughts to share. Thanks![/quote]
