[quote=Anonymous]I hate the fact that in our school 6th graders who received Advanced MSA's scores have to take Reading in 6th grade. At other Middle Schools in the county, 6th graders with Advance MSA scores can take Reading or begin a language. Conversely, at our Middle School children have to take a language in 7th grade or be referred to a Resource Period. In Maryland, languages are for High School credit and go on a child's High School transcript. Why not give children opportunities if they wish to take an Art elective or Science elective and postpone language till High School? Then also there is the lack of variety in languages to choose from: Spanish or French at our school. When I attended MCPS, I was able to take Latin and it greatly helped me with the SAT's.[/quote]
