[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind many colleges and universities (especially LACs!) have a requirement for foreign language while you're in college. So stopping early does your student no favors.[/quote]

People keep saying this but it isn’t necessarily true.

Some students would *gasp* prefer to study the language in college than in high school where the classroom experience involves a lot of disciplining and chaos management in English.

Some students do well in the language and drop it to focus on preferred electives and do just fine with college admissions and meeting the college requirements for language.

There isn’t One Path.[/quote]

Lol bullshit. There’s not a single kid in college who didn’t take four years of language in high school who put it off because they really really wanted to take it in college.  What a joke.  [/quote]

Mine put it off because they wanted space in their schedule for more classes that were well taught and meaningful to them and their goals. They did this knowing that they might or might not need to take it college depending on where they ended up. As it turned out, they had to take it in college and had a good experience.[/quote]

So you agree with me.  Thanks.  [/quote]
