[quote=Anonymous]Our 6th grader takes world language (compacted Spanish) in lieu of reading...it's a little stressful knowing that it will show up on the HS transcript, but we make that class a priority and it has been fine. Also, DC had no interest in taking reading, particularly since she was taking an Advanced English class already. I don't think 6th graders can opt out of BOTH reading and a world language -- there was a schedule conflict for one of the language classes and it was never an option to forego reading if the student didn't take a language...instead DC would have had to drop the arts class, which DC refused to do. I do not remember whether there's an advanced reading class available...I'd contact the MS staff to see what the options are. If a 6th grader is eligible to take a world language and declines, s/he can always take it in 7th and/or 8th, when it is regularly offered to students.[/quote]
