[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No answer for your question. But can the adults of students taking Mandarin please explain the interest in Mandarin. Why go to a HS to take it if the MS can't offer the language, is it worth taking Mandarin? For what reasons other than learning another language?[/quote]

NP here in a similar situation, with a kid who enjoys Mandarin in MS, going to a HS magnet that doesn't offer it.

My kid asked to take Mandarin because he was bored in school, and thought Mandarin sounded challenging.  He's enjoyed the class, and I do think it has been good for him to stretch himself.

Since my kid has the credits required for graduation on his transcript already, I actually looked into him taking Mandarin through CTY or another outside virtual provider, and then taking a study hall.  I went so far as to email some colleges and ask what would be their reaction if a kid applied with CTY credits, and no language taken at school, and the answer was that it was fine.  We probably aren't going to do that though. [/quote]
