[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind many colleges and universities (especially LACs!) have a requirement for foreign language while you're in college. So stopping early does your student no favors.[/quote] The flip side to this point is that if you skip Lang the last 2 years of HS and take, say AP Stats and AP Psych you get more credits out of college and take language in college to give you an easy class. Also, depending on the program (e.g. engineering) you many not have lang. requirements in college. The language requirement in college in and of itself is so pointless and is more of a 'let's milk these kids while we have them' kinda requirement. No one comes out of 2 years of college Spanish with the ability to speak the language or otherwise use is productively. Virginia Tech has the least onerous language requirement and they are climbing the ranks with great post-grad outcomes. Clearly, their lower language requirements are not hurting their grads.
