[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is a sophomore in H.S.  Her GPA is around 3.5 due to a D+ that she got in Spanish II last year.  She had an A in Spanish I in 8th grade, so started H.S. in Spanish II and obviously wasn't prepared for it.  The rest of her grades have been around A- (including several honors classes).  The D+ brought down her GPA and will show up on her transcript.  She is really worried that this will preclude her from getting into a lot of schools.  Has anyone had a similar circumstance for one of their children and did it hurt his/her ability to get into the schools that they wanted to attend?  Any advice on how to proceed?  The guidance councilor doesn't think re-taking the class will make much of a difference, the D+ doesn't go away.  Thanks in advance for any advice.  [/quote]

Is she taking Spanish II again or has she switched languages?[/quote]

Oops, now she she is taking Latin.  One grade isn't going to make a big difference.  Where does she think she wants to go?[/quote]
