[quote=Anonymous]My son is moving from a private school to MCPS 6th grade. He has taken about 5 years of Spanish already but you'd hardly know it. I need to pick his courses for the fall and I understand he can choose to take a language or not, but if he does take Spanish, his grade will appear on his high school transcript (!!). So, since I have no idea if he will do well in any of his classes this fall, do I enroll him in Spanish and hope his 5+ years of Spanish help him get a decent grade or wait until 7th grade, at which point he'll probably have forgotten a lot of what he learned? I'm told taking a language will involve a lot more homework. I'm also concerned about the transition from a progressive private that had almost no homework and no consequences to MCPS 6th grade where he'll finally get actual grades and take tests. Has anyone been there, done that and have some advice? Thanks in advance.[/quote]
