[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had the hardest time with Spanish II & she just couldn't pick up on it. It brought her GPA way down & something needed to be done.

We were against latin because we wanted a language that she'd actually use, so we felt German would probably be out also & with most colleges requiring at least 2 years of a language, we were very nervous.

That's when her guidance counselor suggested sign language!
We were happy to hear this because sign language is something she could always use & she will ALWAYS for the rest of her life be able to use it as her chosen career or as a fall back job, as sign language interpreters are in great demand.

Well, as much as she struggled in Spanish, she's THRIVED in didn language!  It's a much smaller class, she gets more individualized attention & she's already had job offers even in high school.

It was truly the greatest decision she could make for herself.

Good luck with your son![/quote]

I'm impressed that sign language receives the same exact language credits that Spanish, French, German, etc does.

This is a really interesting alternative and I wish they'd make this option more well known![/quote]

Sign language. I’ve been told that because so many parents are opting for cochlear implants and because we don’t get measles anymore (ok, until recently) ASL is likely to be less useful than in the past.[/quote]
