[quote=Anonymous]Note there is a difference between getting high school credit for language classes that then do appear on your transcript (like language in middle school) and the colleges that "count" your language as language to their admissions requirements (which sometimes do NOT include middle school language, even if they are on your transcript).

Nevertheless, I'm the poster on the other thread whose DS is in Spanish 5 right now - he didn't start Spanish until 8th grade (he was taking other preferred electives) and then he found out he was good at Spanish and liked it. This year he switched from 4 to 5 so that he could get to the AP class senior year.  Not sure if that is available at every school but he will take 4 years Spanish when he is in high school.

Lots of other kids who have preferences for other subjects will drop language by 11th or 12th grade and focus on other interests - its really hard to know that when your child is 11. I found MCPS to be flexible at least, with regard to picking classes.[/quote]
