[quote=Anonymous]My rising 9th grader is doing fine in Spanish IB -- he's not a foreign language genius but it's easy and enjoyable for him. He is a math and science kid, probably eventually headed to a STEM college education. Is there any advantage or disadvantage in him going the route of taking technology courses instead of continuing high school Spanish in terms of college admission? I know foreign language education is great and all -- I did two years of full-time immersion language study in college and grad school and lived overseas for a number of years. And for what it's worth, he's also taking a different language class on weekends that we are committed to continuing. But the tech courses look pretty cool and are right up his alley.[/quote]
