[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is taking AP French this year just because UVA wants four years of language in high school. She hates French and had other classes she wanted to take but didn’t want to give up the post of UVA. Very frustrating.[/quote]

It is frustrating. My daughter stuck with French even though there were other classses she would have much rather taken.  It’s dumb that they require kids to waste their time with something so useless, when there are now a million other (rigorous) courses they could choose that would benefit and interest them more.

You’re missing the point which is UVA decides what matters most for their community, not you. If you think their requirements and the subjects they value are useless you should seek a different college that is a better fit. [/quote]

Yeah, but requiring four years of a FL seems to be universal among all top colleges, not just UVA.  And yes, it’s outdated and dumb. [/quote]

Then find a college that is a better fit for you outside T20. You don’t make the rules [/quote]

Yeah, but I can still have an opinion as to whether the requirement is dumb or not.  [/quote]

What is your opinion accomplishing? [/quote]
