[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this just Spanish 1???

Because that was a very easy class for my DD, in 6th grade.[/quote]

Does she plan on taking AP Spanish Lit in 12th or dropping language early?[/quote]

This is really the issue.  Colleges want kids to take 4 years in HS and that puts the kid in pretty advanced classes in 11 and 12.  If you slow them down in MS, there's no judgment (by colleges) and you're not stuck in AP spanish lit senior year. This is where my kid is at.  11th grader trying to decide if she really  wants to take AP spanish lit next year because she was in spanish 4 in 9th grade and that's the path (my older kid did this class and they were reading medieval poetry and don quixote... in spanish.  she really struggled.)[/quote]

I am definitely not making my junior take AP Spanish lit. I think the vast majority of colleges will be fine with 3 years in MS, 3 years in HS ending in AP.[/quote]

No one really knows because schools have different preferences and keep quiet.  But there's tons of speculation on this board-- look for one of the threads if you're interested.  The most convincing arguments I've heard is that top schools want 4 years FL in high school but are ok with stopping if you get 4 or 5 on the AP exam. [/quote]
