[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are planning out your 5th grader’s middle school and shift school years.  Isn’t this a bit much? You’ve assumed he will like and do well in Spanish and assumed he’s going to get in a magnet in high school too.  You need to relax.[/quote]

And let your poor kid not only be a kid, but think and choose for himself!  Pobrecito. [/quote]

NP with a 5th grader here. We’re helping our “pobrecita” daughter make these choices now. She has no idea the implications and is happy to start Spanish next year [/quote]

This is not about parents helping a 5th grader pick language and electives for 6th grade and middle school.  It’s about OP’s planning of her 5th grader’s entire path through a magnet high school program.  Anyway, to each his own.  But, if many parents are like OP, then I am not surprised about rising anxiety and depression in kids.  [/quote]

I’m the one with the fifth grade girl. Of course as I’m helping her choose these it’s with an eye on high school.[/quote]

My 7th grader has always chosen her classes on her own. Do you think your daughter isn’t mature enough to choose for herself?  Or that somehow she will be better off than my daughter later on?  FWIW my daughter will be taking French 3 next year and we have never helped her chose her classes. [/quote]

I have no idea who will be better off but I do know she is 10 years old and needs guidance. Hey if you chose X then hopefully you’d be able to do Z in high school. Choosing W would probably mean L would happen in a few years.

Why is that so hard to understand?[/quote]
