[quote=Anonymous]Another Pyle parent here (8th grader). Even if your kid is bright and motivated and a good reader, reading is a good class. My kid is a 99th percentile reader and it was definitely worthwhile. And since most kids who forego reading end up doing just the 'A' section of a foreign language in 6th grade (and presumably 'B' in 7th), there isn't really a net gain. Do reading in 6th, and language 1AB in 7th. It's true that colleges want to see at least three years of the same foreign language IN HIGH SCHOOL, and even better that they should exhaust the high school's offerings in their chosen language. At Whitman, I think there are some languages that go up to level 6. So two full years in middle school followed by four years in high school is possible.[/quote]
