[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In MoCo the middle school classes are on the HS transcript and do count.  My child dropped a language after two years.  It is clearly not her strength and she will put her energy in other areas.  It may eliminate some college choices but that is ok.  There are many choices out there.[/quote]

[b]2 years of middle school language = one year of language. [/b] Make sure your daughter talks to her guidance counselor.  [/quote]

What is your source for this assertion?  MCPS middle school foreign language courses are Honors classes and give the student high school credit.

My DD took a total of five years of Spanish starting in 6th grade.  She took the AP Spanish exam at the end of her sophomore year of high school because she felt she knew the language and material well enough to do so.  She scored a 5.  And that was the end of her foreign language instruction in MCPS.

She is now at a top college.[/quote]

Not PP.  But I know some MCPS middle schools split up the first year of foreign language where they stretch the first semester over one year and then the second semester over the next year.  At my daughter's middle school I think they were given the choice to split it up over 2 years or to have both semesters taught in a single year.
