[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just moved to MCPS and my 6th grader is taking Spanish. Why does MCPS allow 6th graders to take high school level Spanish 1? I feel like it actually puts them at a disadvantage college-wise because they have to take such advanced levels to show 3/4 years of high school FL. I guess we could have DD not take it for 7th and 8th but that seems odd, too. And yes, DD could switch to a different language in 9th grade. Anyway, this is the first time I've encountered this kind of FL system and it doesn't seem that great to me. [/quote] What FL system have you encountered before? Looking back when I was in school, we had junior high not middle school. Plenty of kids started language in 8th grade so that was only one year behind average Mcps kids. I’m not sure if MCPS should change or if the colleges should change. Why can’t the 2 years of a FL in MS be good enough for these colleges?[/quote]
