[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]most kids are going to be screwed with the language requirement by the time they are in high school if they take 3 years in MS.  [/quote]

[b]Why?[/b][/quote]\

See comments above.  Colleges want to see HIGH SCHOOl language credits, so if you're entering HS with 3 credits already, you've got to keep going into upper level language courses. Which is great for the kid who wants to go that far in a language. The kids who would be "screwed" are the ones more interested in banking the requisite number of credits for the college app.[/quote]

Forgive me, NP here, I still don't get it... in terms of a college app, they would show a higher proficiency in the language by continuing to take it in HS, so wouldn't that give them a leg up?  Is the point being made that they're screwed because it takes away the option to only do the minimum with language?  Regardless, if they'd wind up having to do credits while in HS anyway, there wouldn't be harm in getting farther ahead, right- or am I missing something?[/quote]
