[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about foreign language? It looks like that is all grade level until you are very advanced. Do most kids who aren't advanced in a language stop after 2 years?[/quote] Correct, there are no honors options. Many kids will finish a language at the AP level if they are shooting for say top 50 colleges, though I do know several very high stats kids at top 20 schools who took 4 years of a language but never took AP. Even the top colleges let you skip any language requirement if you score a 4 or 5 on AP language, which gives some kids (who honestly hate Foreign Language) enough incentive to do well enough on the AP test. My kid is one, and I kid you not, if you asked him two weeks later to take that same AP test (he scored a 5) he probably would have scored a 2 because it's cram it in, get the score...and then out of the brain it goes.[/quote]
