[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, so only students who start a language in middle school are eligible for AP.  Stinks for kids at middle schools that only offer one or two languages.  Guess you can only do spanish.[/quote]

A student who waits until high school to start learning a language is going to have a real bad time regardless.

The first opportunity to take a language is in 8th grade. How much different is 9th?[/quote]

Incorrect. I'm a MS teacher and we have plenty of 7th graders taking a language. [/quote]

Our middle school only lets 7th graders take part 1 of a language. [/quote]

Same. The slow pace of that option led my kids to take the full year in 8th instead.[/quote]

It's not really a full high school class in 7th grade. My kid has a 99.9% in Spanish in 8th and hasn't done any homework and we speak no other languages at home other than English. I don't really understand the need for a part 1 in 7th.[/quote]

Not sure what your point is. Is the 8th grade class a joke or is your student learning an amazing amount of Spanish in 8th class. [/quote]
