[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know why people are jumping on OP for her daughter not taking French 3 last year when it’s clear her hands were tied since it conflicted with another class that she needed. Are y’all daft?[/quote]

The message is: don't blame others for your own mistakes. It is a mistake to expect anyone to perform at the next language level when they have missed out on a year of learning.

There were options:
1. Study French outside of school: get private tutoring, or enroll in the French weekend school in Bethesda MD, or enroll in any other private group French classes in DC or VA. 
2. Pick the French back up at level 3.

Obviously we'd all be a lot more sympathetic if OP didn't lay the blame on someone else. But she did, and that's really grating on people.

When my kid missed out on a year of language in MCPS due to a similar problem, I hired a tutor. Not for the entire year, we couldn't afford that,  but for a few months. He also kept it up by himself, by committing to memory his vocab lists from the year before.

OP’s did what you suggested in scenario 2, only to find herself in a class with three levels combined in one which is highly unusual. That is not her fault and hardly a scenario that she could’ve anticipated happening.[/quote]

No. The poor kid is taking level 4 as a senior, after taking level 3 as a sophomore, with nothing in between.

Why are you deliberately misreading?
