[quote=Anonymous]Starting in 9th, our school offers a dual language track. DS is contemplating between starting a dual language, but that would mean he would have to choose between robotics and a 2nd language in 9th grade. In terms of college admissions/ transcript breadth- Would a STEM kid be disadvantaged if they took a dual language track? DS's choice in dual language would be Latin and French. DS has no interest in medicine, but loves science, biology and engineering. Pros- Easier to learn languages at a younger age Choice in dual language would- Latin & French; Latin obviously has it's own list of benefits Still can join the robotics club Cons- Cannot take robotics sophomore year as it is sequential Would be spending more time with students who are not as STEM focused Established social groups from the robotics class might make DS feel like an outsider at the robotics club [/quote]
