[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bussing to HS for a 1st period class is common for both language and math. Schools don’t know in 6th grade how many kid’s will stick with a language to take level 3 in 8th at the MS.

I had one kid who paused language in 8th to be more in sync with most kids in his grade in HS. It worked out fine.

If you are choosing between a pause versus switching languages, I would pause and have your kid take a different elective in 8th grade - preferably a HS tech credit if available. Then summer before high school have you kids retake the second semester of the language in summer school to be ready for level 3 in 9th.[/quote]

This is a good plan, to take a review class the summer before HS if you'd like your child to continue in that language.
Despite what one PP said the world will not end if your child has to retake 2 or is starting with 3 in high school. It is really not unusual for kids to retake language whatever they took in MS for language and as you pointed out it's usually a relatively easy A which really helps with the transition to high school.
