[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op her. She took French 3 in 10th and got an A. So now she is taking French 4. I knew there would be some language loss but almost all the kids in the class have taken 4 and 5. [b]In fact, she thinks she’s the only student at level 4. [/b]Not blaming anyone and she is a math person so didn’t feel the need to get tutors (plus we are poor). Just need to make sure she can meet some of the language reqyirements some colleges want.[/quote]

This is terrible and the school should be working to help her out since they are the ones economising by mashing three levels in one class.

People can't generalise until they find out the bolded. It sounds like if she's the only one, they're going to work her up since it's easier for them. Not fair. [/quote]

They're not economizing. They can't find a teacher. Trust me, combining 3 levels of a language class is NOT what MCPS wants to do, and finding that extra teacher would be a priority on their list of priorities. (Combining two levels is more common, and then they can allocate funds to other important needs.)

And honestly, the school isn't going to have a lot of sympathy for a kid who missed an entire year of language and still thought they could go on to the next level. If OP and kid had asked the advice of the language department or the previous or current teacher before making this stupid decision, I guarantee that NONE of them would have suggested they move up to level 4 after a year's hiatus.

The counselor is probably going to suggest the kid drop down to level 3.
