[quote=Anonymous]But, PP/Dennis Miller, OP is asking about 6th grade vs. waiting until 7th grade, not waiting until HS. OP says her kid hasn't had much in the way of testing or even homework at a progressive private school and OP is concerned about the transition. The stress my 6th grader was under this year studying for his final exam in Spanish 1A was crazy. MCPS has gotten rid of all cumulative tests in ES and this was the first really major test he's ever had. Of course, next year, MCPS is getting rid of finals for HS classes. (I don't agree with this decision, but that's another topic.) Had I truly known what he was in for (on a maturity level), I would have preferred my 11-year-old kid wait until 7th grade to take Spanish 1A. But the school really pushed foreign language for 6th grade kids who were reading "at a certain level." [/quote]
