[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no sympathy for parents who find their child in this predicament. Look for enrichment elsewhere. High school classes should be for high schoolers.[/quote] I can see the case for Geometry and/or Algebra I being a HS class. But a foreign language is different. There's nothing developmentally to suggest that students are not ready to study a foreign language until age 14. (In fact, the opposite is true; the earlier a child starts, the easier it is to learn.) Maybe the problem is that the whole foreign language system (from level I all the way to level VI) is pushing the students too hard, too fast. Learning a language is like running a marathon, not a sprint. It's a shame that the college admissions process interferes with this.[/quote]
