[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is dreading taking Spanish 5 next year as a junior; however it's required for the IB diploma so she's stuck. Luckily, she doesn't have to take it her senior year. I do think these language requirements are ridiculous once they've hit level 4. If it weren't for the IB requirement, she would drop it and opt for an elective that she's much more interested in. [/quote] Fun experiment. Talk to a 100 kids who took AP (any language) two years after they did. Count how many of them can hold a basic conversation. Maybe a couple will. The rest.. I see absolutely no reason to force language on everyone (saying this as someone who is fluent in 4 languages). [/quote]
