[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't have to allow your child to take the classes that will result in grades on the high school transcript. Just say no if you think it's a bad idea for your child. [/quote] You are right. But that would mean the child would forego foreign language class in middle school which, IMO, is a very bad thing. It is a great time to learn a foreign language. Moreover, middle school should be a "practice run" for trying and failing and getting up and trying again. It should allow students to explore subjects (e.g. foreign languages) they think they may be interested in, without fear of it having a permanent effect on their long-term future. This practice is at odds with where middle schoolers are, developmentally speaking. It makes the stakes too high, for children too young to handle them.[/quote]
