[quote=Anonymous]I still don't get it. Tons of schools across the country offer languages starting in K (so way more advanced than any languages offered in MoCo which don't start until 6th at the earliest), and so the students enter high school in upper level languages, and the grades still don't count toward high school gpa until the kids get to high school.  Ditto for math - schools in any major/minor metro area offer math to middle schoolers that enable them to start in algebra II or whatever in high school, but again the grades don't count until high school.  There is an inherent maturity and lack of ability to see long term effects of current actions that make it challenging for middle schoolers to have grades count to high school gpa. Also, at our kids' middle school (Pyle), many take a language in 6th grade, not just the uber smart, because many parents believe that the earlier one starts language instruction, the better. MoCo is already hopelessly behind in that languages are not offered until 6th grade. [/quote]
