[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]

I dunno switch her language then.  You are complaining because MCPS allows kids to learn language earlier? (When they are most likely to be able to absorb it.)  Listen, my kid is in HS and took language starting in 6th grade is counting the minutes until she can drop her language.  Yet, I am able to see that it is absolutely wonderful that a kid who is interested can end up taking 7 years of instruction in MCPS.  We had nothing like it when I was a kid.[/quote]
