[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid nailed the Gov exam but got a 2 in Spanish. Wondering how much of this affects the fact that our school makes kids take AP Spanish as sophomores if they want to get the IB exam. And has a terrible Spanish teacher all kids suffer through as freshmen...anyone else's kid take the Spanish exam as a rising junior?[/quote]

Is that after year 4 of Spanish or what year?[/quote]

At our school the typical sequence is
Spanish 1 - 7th grade (and yes, it goes on the transcript!)
Spanish 2 - 8th grade
Spanish 3 - 9th grade
Spanish 4 OR AP Spanish - 10th grade (savvy kids take AP Spanish to avoid the teacher who teaches Spanish 3 and Spanish 4)
IB Spanish - 11th/12th grade[/quote]

Our non-IB school starts same was but goes 4-5-AP, which is really drawn out. But most kids get 4s and 5s if they make it through all six years. So I wouldn’t worry too much and don’t compare scores with kids who took Spanish for 6-7 years (some take 1 over grades 6 and 7 for slower start/better foundation). I assume he can retake in two years for college credit if desired. [/quote]

Our private doesn’t like language taken in middle school. Kids generally don’t start above level 1. They will test into Honors 1 if they do well on language placement.

SP Honors 1, 2, and 3 and then the option of AP Spanish or Honors 4.  The honors courses are very rigorous from the start—all in Spanish, many Spanish books assigned, etc [/quote]
