[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or should we say that not speakinf a foreign language is a major disadvantage. Why can the kid not change schools? If the local high cannot provide the subject of choice, then why not?[/quote] I think the advice was being offered to the OP that changing schools over this issue is probably more hassle than it's worth. The student has already gone through orientation, possibly made new friends and gotten adjusted. To switch over one class, even if the change was approved, is a big deal and means her son would be starting a new school right after the school year begins. That's not impossible, but I wouldn't want to push that on my 9th grader just so he could take Spanish. Taking 3 years of Spanish in high school instead of 4 does not equate "not speaking a foreign language" and put him at a major disadvantage. He can just take it next year.[/quote]
