[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Foreign language was one of the reasons we decided against IB. My DC did two years of Spanish in middle school, and the plan is to do two more years in high school. If he can handle it he’ll sign up for AP Spanish in junior year, if not he’s done. Four years of foreign language is plenty even for the most selective colleges. IB FL is hard, and you have to pick one for the diploma. May be different if you speak at home, otherwise it’s not worth the effort. You’ll be in class with native speakers and have to work that much harder to even be average and the GPA will suffer. [/quote] Agree that if a foreign language is not your kid's thing, then IBD is not a good choice. But for those who (like my kid) enjoy foreign languages, I think it's a great choice. It's nice to have the choice that AP and IB offer at some MCPS HS. [/quote]
