[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach Spanish in the county, and kids with a solid start in 6th grade and take full-year courses each year thereafter can take both AP courses (language and literature) in high school. Many of the students in those AP classes have achieved a very high level of proficiency. [/quote] Thanks for posting, it's great to hear from a teacher! In MS, is foreign language a requirement (i.e. not an elective, which might conflict with other courses a child might want to take)?[/quote] Foreign language ("world languages") is not a requirement in middle school. Most students take the core classes, and then have two slots left over. Some students are required to take Reading (different from English, which everyone takes) in one of those slots, but the other choices include a language.[/quote]
