[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to pay for a private tutor, OP. In the DC area, I hope you can find someone who can teach that language. If this is important for your daughter and her college and career prospects, you need to make that happen.

This happened to my friend's kids - the language they had started to study was canceled. They were furious but in public school, there's nothing you can do. There are staffing shortages, budget issues and, for some schools, no available classrooms because they're so overcrowded -  and it doesn't make sense to hire a teacher if the demand is low.

I would bite the bullet and do this, but how would credit work in that situation? Don't the colleges need to see it on  a transcript somewhere?[/quote]

You have to go with a certified program such as Language bird that I posted earlier, that’s accredited and offers online language instruction. It’s one on one, and it costs something like 1000 or $2000. But some school districts might help you pay for it especially if they only have three or four students who are still taking that language. It’s an awful lot cheaper than hiring a teacher and anyway the Italian teachers apparently are not existent right now. You have to check that the school district will except the credit and put it on the students transcript, but there’s no reason they shouldn’t if the online instruction is accredited.[/quote]
