[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - DC got an "A" in spanish3 over the summer. if they make DC repeat the course, I am worried how it would look on the transcript and of course would hurt GPA :-( I feel terrible for not being able to help. Do parents reach out to counselors at TJ or is it expected for the DC to handle it?

I would understand with COVID and virtual schedules they messed up my DC schedule.  But knowing this has been done before too is very disappointing :-([/quote]

If they take Spanish over the summer, they can either repeat the course or quit the language. They make it very clear[/quote]

+1. My kid did summer Spanish III a couple years ago. This was made very, very, clear. By then, my kid was so over the TJ Spanish department, she was fine with it.

Also, it 100% a repeat of TJ Spanish II— and actually required fewer speaking and listening skills. And Spanish III is the hardest language class at TJ.  Even if they let your kid move on to AP Spanish, they wouldn’t be able to pass.

Retake the class or stop the language. And next time, follow the curriculum guidance.

PS— you kid can’t take An FCPS online or Virtual VA AP level 4th history or a summer college level class as a fourth history. They will make your kid repeat at an honors level.  The rules are the rules are the rules. The history rule is just dumb. And I’ve seen lots of creative attempts to circumvent it. But I’ve never seen someone succeed. The Spanish rule makes sense because TJ Spanish is so much more advanced than standard FCPS. Your summer Spanish III student didn’t actually learn anything new and isn’t ready to progress. [/quote]
