DD had math added automatically but not FL.  I was happy FL was not added as level 1 isn't honors so it would have decreased GPA.[/quote]

I thought levels 1 and 2 are not honors level irrespective of when (MS or HS) a student takes them. If one has to start at level 1 anyways, how does it decrease GPA? Wouldn't it make more sense to finish non-honors levels (1 and 2) in MS so that one can take more years of honors levels - 3/4/5/AP ?[/quote]

Because if you take 1 and 2 in MS and it isn't counted on the transcript it frees up space to take all weighted classes in HS when it is included.  PP  didn't say the kid shouldn't have taken FL1 in MS, only that it was good it wasn't on her HS transcript.[/quote]
This is just silly. A kid can still take as many weighted classes as she likes in high school. An A in 7th grade on level Spanish is not going to hurt a transcript. Colleges recalculate on their own terms anyway.[/quote]

No they can't take as many as they want if they have to take classes that aren't offered as honors. Some people care about that, even if it isn't relevant for competitive colleges. If you want to maximize honors you would do as the PP above suggested - take 1&2 in MS and not put them on the transcript, and 3-AP in 4 years of HS, all of which are weighted classes.[/quote]
What are you talking about? The student has the same access to high school classes in high school, regardless of what is put on their gpa from middle school. Taking FL 1 and 2 in middle school does mean that the all FL classes taken in high school can be honors. That is true whether or not the  middle school grades are counted. You are not freeing up anything. [/quote]
