[quote=Anonymous]As a former middle school language teacher, I would say yes! Keep in mind that you know your child better than anyone -- some kids do require that extra year of maturity, but only you can know that. That said, the vast majority of students are ready at that age, and every single student I ever had in 6th grade Spanish class thrived and adored that class. Reading some of the earlier responses and I am so ashamed that in MoCo all of the parents are more worried about a B on a report card than their child being challenged and learning something new (and useful!) Middle school language classes are FUN. Really! The curriculum, despite being a HS class, is not over their heads. And if they go on and struggle in Spanish 2, they can always retake it -- thus replacing the first grade (if you're worried about those things.) Please do consider the class![/quote]
