[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, this whole thing is a non-issue IMO. Colleges don't just look at GPA; the see the grade in each class the kid took and when/where the class was taken. Unless they are absolutely atrocious, colleges (even elite ones) will NOT care about grades earned in middle school. They primarily focus on grades in junior and senior year of high school, because those are the ones most likely to predict college performance. Once in 12th grade, middle school will be a distant memory, and colleges will see it that way as well. Sure, that first B might be painful for a student who normally receives perfect grades. They won't be able to claim that they have a perfect GPA anymore. But in the end, it doesn't matter. (Really, it doesn't.) Trying to wipe a single B by retaking a class is a lot of work for no real gain, and might actually be harmful if it prevents the kid from taking a higher-level language. [/quote]
