[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Her other elective was chemistry. It was a tough decision choosing between instrument and FL. She does speak my husbands home language and will hopefully earn seal of biliteracy but it isn't clear if this can replace a FL requirement or it is a "nice to have". [/quote] Even if your DC wants to change the elective now, is it even possible this far into the school year? Which school system is this? (And chemistry as MS elective - this is not MCPS, is it?) If your DC is into humanities/languages, starting FL earlier is helpful. If DC looks at FL as just as something to fulfill graduation requirements, it is better to start in 8th or 9th, since I think - it has been a while since I had to look into this - generally speaking colleges would like to see four years of FL, and *some* colleges want them to be taken in HS.
