[quote=Anonymous]I've got a college freshman and an 8th grader.

My 8th grader's Spanish 3 teacher talks to them in Spanish. We asked for her recommendation on our kid's trajectory in high school, and she said: Spanish 4, 5, AP, AP.

If your kid's Spanish teacher is not conducting most of the class in Spanish, then I would consider hiring a tutor before having them repeat the class.

Re: difficult APs in 12th grade. Kids do need good grades in the first semester of that year, since the transcript is required by colleges and is taken into account for Regular Decision (and could potentially cause them to rescind an Early Action offer). However, they give leeway to students in the second semester. Kids do not need to take the AP exams in May of 12th grade, unless they want to because they can get extra credit or jump to a higher-level class at their chosen college. It looks good on college applications to include challenging AP courses in 12th grade... but second semester grades don't matter so much. Just FYI. [/quote]
