[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In order to take a double period AP Biology class senior year, DD needs to drop either Spanish or band. Is it better to have four years of language, terminating in Honors Spanish 4, or four years of band, terminating in Wind Ensemble? If she keeps both, she’d need to take Health in summer school, which she really doesn’t want to do.

She wants to study Biology or Environmental Science in college.[/quote]

Better for what?
For college admissions, it doesn't matter.

For your your daughter (remember her?), whichever she cares more about.

Learning language in school is completely useless. No one learns language in school. You learn language and immersion.

You can't do band on your own.

Umm … having a foundation for a language in school is pretty helpful though.

The extent of ignorance on this thread is astonishing.[/quote]

No.  We’re not ignorant simply because we disagree with you.

You think that learning a language in school is more fulfilling.  I think that playing in a musical ensemble in school is more fulfilling.

Either way, it doesn’t really matter.  What matters is what OP’s kid finds more fulfilling/rewarding.  [/quote]
