[quote=Anonymous]Current magnet 7th grader. We know kids who took French and kids who took/take Spanish. Both have been happy. School will tell magnet families to take 1A/1B as the child can always move backwards. We found that our non-language and heavily math/science geared DS did fine academically in that class (mostly As). HOWEVER, when it came to 7th grade and Spanish 2, he was overwhelmed and couldn't understand anything the teacher was saying. He definitely memorized for the test and then quickly forgot what he learned. We had no problem moving him back to Spanish 1B this year. Class is easy -- he never has to work. There are other magnet kids in there with him. The most important thing to me is that this year he's definitely getting a much better grasp of the basics and the language. Do not listen to PP who said that the magnet kids never elect to take the slower paced class.[/quote]
