[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid is likely going to a magnet where their middle school language (Mandarin) is not offered. They are really worried about this hurting their chances for getting into college (they'd start Spanish 1 in 9th).

Is this actually going to hurt? I said no but now I am second guessing.

Are there options I don't know about to allow them to continue Mandarin (like a virtual class held during a free period or something)?

They are good at Mandarin for not being Chinese, and they would not change languages of their own volition.

And finally, how does one get a class created? There are enough kids from the current Chinese 2 class at their middle school that there might be 7-8 kids in the same boat. [/quote]

Nobody cares. You are overthinking this. The only college that requires 4 years of language is Harvard. Please do not make your kid go through a year of summer school to catch up. [/quote]

OP here - no, I wasn't going to do that. I want my kids' breaks to be breaks. With that being sad, my kid is genuinely sad at losing Chinese (there are no other major cons though - her bffs are going to the magnet, the content actually interests her, and the school is better at her sport/EC than our home school) and i was trying to figure something out for her...[/quote]
