[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most college admissions people will tell you that regardless of the level of the course, colleges like to see 4 years of English, history, math, science and foreign language taken during the 4 years the kid is at high school.  If you believe this, your kid is not freeing up time to take electives in hs (by taking hs credit classes in ms), instead, he's putting himself on track to take advanced (by 1 or 2 or 3 years) english, history, math, science and foreign language.  Some kids/parents want this.  Most probably do not (at least not in every subject area).  [/quote]

This is exactly what I am worried about. If a student elects to take a Foreign Language in 6th, 7th & 8th grade, will this be sufficient for college admissions? Seems silly to offer these courses in Middle School for kids that can do the work and then it not "count" for college admissions. Surely MCPS wouldn't be doing this if it hurt the students........although we are dealing wtih MCPS![/quote]
