[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think long term. Having a second language on the resume is a huge leg up in the job search. [/quote] My kid took 5 years of Spanish; almost all As. Can barely speak or understand it. No way most of the kids coming out of the language track in MCPS would know it well enough to put it on a resume.[/quote] This is so true. I was the same, French from 7th through 11th grades. I came out of it with maybe the ability to order a hot chocolate in a McDonald's in Quebec. [/quote] It's me for Spanish! I took Spanish 8th-12th grades. I say "Hello" to someone, ask them how they are doing and say I'm doing very well. I really hate this focus on 2 years vs 4 years in high school. It's pointless. The majority of the kids won't become fluent by taking 4 years in High School. [/quote]
