[quote=Anonymous]Your child could take the SAT subject test in Spanish at the end of junior year and see how he does. A good score will get him out of the foreign language requirement at many colleges. By the way, I'm a bit of a helicopter parent myself and I'd let him quit after Spanish 5 if he wants to. It is frustrating that public school guidance counselors can't give more targeted advice. We parents feel like we need to stand in the gap. Would your son enjoy a brief trip to a Spanish-speaking country (Costa Rica, Peru, Mexico) to pique his interest over the summer? Maybe just to celebrate 5 whole years of Spanish? Heck, you could even just visit Miami. It's eye-opening! My DD has really enjoyed listening to News in Slow Spanish. Maybe your son would like it, too?[/quote]
