[quote=Anonymous]My recommendation would be for your child to pursue one language for all of high school in the hopes of attaining a certain level of proficiency such that they can place out of the language requirement at his/her college. This is especially true for STEM majors and those at liberal arts colleges, where, if the student does not place into a high level language course, s/he may be devoting four semesters over the course of freshman and sophomore years to fulfilling the requirement. At a SLAC, that means that 25% of your classes per semester for eight semesters. If a student is not interested in a language, that requirement takes a bite out of that student's ability to explore other disciplines. [/quote]
