[quote=Anonymous]I'd also suggest trying the language.  Both mine began in MS, one is on to HS level 5 and so far no negatives.  Even coming from a private with no homework, you may be underwhelmed by the work load in sixth.  As far as language goes, there are some work sheets, often completed in class and flash cards to make.  Obviously studying the cards is implied but the grade is for making them--teachers and schools probably vary.  Anyway my DCs seem to have enjoyed the classes and I liked that they were offered.  Being in level three language in eighth means a class with some of the more motivated eighth graders.  Not a huge deal, but sometimes less hectic than behavior issues in other electives.  If any issues arise, repeating a level is always possible.  Also switching to a different elective would likely be possible after first quarter if it really is too much.  There is a lot of handwringing about HS credit in MS but I think this is more an issue for students who have known academic issues or who are already have obligations like a magnet or extracurriculars.
