[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, not the OP but I have an actual question related to the topic, as opposed to a criticism for another poster:

My DC is a sophomore and takes Spanish.  They have the option to skip a year of Spanish and take Spanish AP next year, which would leave them without an option for a language as a senior.  Is it better to do this or to not skip Spanish and save Spanish AP for senior year.

DC is a good student and likes Spanish (but isn't amazing at it).  I assume if the school says they can skip a year then they will be able to handle AP next year (and it will leave space for another AP senior year)...on the flip side, maybe actually taking all Spanish all four years will be better for both language learning and college admissions?[/quote]

If they're not "amazing" at it, why skip a year?  Sounds like a set up to struggle in AP Spanish.[/quote]

Because they will be good enough at it and it would mean they could take a different elective senior year...the question is, is it worth it/is it better to take Spanish all four years?[/quote]

I really don't think it matters. If you are giving up AP for another language, I'd say that doesn't make sense, but if AP is covered then do what you want. I don't think colleges will care.[/quote]
