[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you for all of the responses.  I am much less worried about the grade showing up on his HS transcript than I am about him being overly stressed out while transitioning to a new school and having to deal with the demands of a high-school level course.  Indeed, one of the reasons we are switching him from a progressive private (aside from saving $$) is so he can get used to testing and grades.  I would rather him fall on his face in 6th grade than in high school.  So, I plan to have him take Spanish in sixth grade.  I don't want him to lose what he has learned and it sounds like it could be a fun, good class.

I just looked at his course schedule though, and it says Spanish 1A/1B.  It seemed like most posters recommended that he just do 1A.  Could someone educate me on the difference?  Is just doing 1A even an option at Westland?  Anyone know?  Also, my understanding from the guidance counselor was that he did have a few weeks to see if he could handle the work and could move to a different class if he cannot.[/quote]
