[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wrong. Here's how it works:

1. The super smart kids start a foreign language in 6th.

2. The average to bright kids start in 7th.

3. The kids who are barely getting by and those with behavior issues don't start until HS. And Spanish 1 in HS is a zoo. Those are the low performing kids. That's the class where the teacher has to call security every day to deal with the hoodlums (at our otherwise good school).

This depends on the school At Eastern, the really bright kids don't have enough electives to take language in grade 6.[/quote]

If by "really bright kids" you mean the magnet students, it's true that many of them opt to start foreign language in 7th grade, so that they can take the Magnet Reading class with Ms. Ray.  Everyone hears she is a great teacher, but if a magnet student wants to opt out of Magnet Reading to start foreign language in 6th grade, they CAN do so.  Not many do so because they want to stay with friends and because of the buzz about the class.

Also, many of the magnet kids took the reading class and then ALSO took afterschool foreign language for which they received credit and then they went into 2nd year foreign language in 7th grade. [/quote]

Eastern magnet students are not allowed to opt out of Ms. Ray's class.  Apparently so few students opted out that they have now made the class mandatory.  [/quote]
