[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid took a language in 6th. It wasn’t until I checked the transcript at the end of the year that I realized they only received.25 of a credit. Apparently they slow the instruction down so much that they only cover 1/4 of the material. I’m not sure if that is standard or just how that particular school did things. Either way it was a waste of time.[/quote] Sounds like he did 1A over the course of the year, will do 1B the next year, and then do 2A/B in 8th grade. Some middle schools offer that. Ours does not — you must take 1A/B over the year and it moves quickly. I would have like to have had the choice to slow down. OP - at our school (which is an IB-MYP school) you are required to take a language class unless you have a reading or math intervention class. And as stated above, they don’t let you split level 1 into two years. That means that for kids at our school, the only way to slow down the track is to repeat a course you took before. [/quote]
