[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are completely destroying our kids ffs. [/quote] Agree. My DD is in French 3 in 8th grade. Starting French in 6th was completely her choice. She got A’s in 1&2 and currently has a B in 3 - so she clearly isn’t struggling. She has told us repeatedly that she hates it and will not continue in HS. Again, 100% her choice. I will not push it based on what the top universities want. She’s old enough to make her own decisions. [/quote] Foreign Language becomes harder in level 3, and French is not an easy language to learn. She can start another language in HS or even take American Sign Language if some graduation requirement needs to be fulfilled, though I think that having 3 HS credit courses in MS has already fulfilled the requirement. If you are not aiming for top universities then it is ok. Anyways, if a student gets B's in French 3, they should not be under undue stress. [/quote]
