[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An unmotivated or incapable kid who does only 2 years of a foreign language is very likely deficient in other ways to get into an Ivy, SLAC or even any top 500 school but community college is a good option. Some kids mature late and others just need the basics to get a job slightly above minimum wage.[/quote]

Thanks for the snarky comment. My kid took 2 years of language in high school and 3 in middle school. For college admissions purposes only the high school years are counted. My kid got into Michigan, Georgia Tech, UiUC and UMD Honors college with Scholarship. Can’t believe how mean DCUMER’s can be![/quote]
The questions should be, how do you take only 2 years of language in high school if high school is 4 years. Language is not a subject you stop and start or start in last 2 years of high school.[/quote]

My kid took 2 in middle and 2 in HS.  He was really struggling and had low grades.  Decided he should focus on his strengths.  No trouble with college admissions and merit aid...not ivy level but strong schools.  He was applying for engineering.  Might have been different at less techy schools.[/quote]
