[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges 100% don't care about the advanced diploma.  It's literally a sticker stuck on the normal diploma and is not awarded until graduation so it's not something even indicated on college applications.  You can choose to have the grade expunged from a high school course taken in middle school for any grade any reason.  [b]One of my kids took Latin and did fine but hated it and we expunged it[/b]. I'd worry much more about my child not getting a strong algebra base for all the courses to come over worrying about them getting a high grade in what likely will end up being a watered down course.  Half the AAP kids isn't a high enough bar for 7th grade Algebra so it's certainly going to be a mess a year earlier with less maturity and no preparation.  [/quote]

This is very bizarre. Walk me through the logic behind this one please. Your kid hated Latin so much that they couldn’t bear to see it on their transcript so you expunged it, despite doing fine in the class? [/quote]

DP.  It depends on what "fine" means.  I'd expunge anything less than an A for a middle school foreign language class in a language that the kid will not continue taking.  There's no upside whatsoever to keeping the grade on the transcript, and it would most likely pull down the overall high school GPA.  I'd hate to punish a kid who wanted to try something new, but then found out that the language was a very bad fit for them.  [/quote]
