Momrath, Thanks for your detailed response.

Son is having a class scheduling problem, French language level 4 class is conflicting with AP US government, where US government is required to graduate. Since he already has two years of French study, skipped one level, so he is at level 3 with two years — which is minimum graduation requirement, so I was thinking to pick US government and drop the language.

Now after reading all the information that you provided, I am thinking maybe he should stay with French to finish at least three years of study. Since it’s better to study a language with continuity, if he drop the language this year, it will be hard to pick it up next year. he can do US government next year.

Again, thanks a lot, otherwise, we may make a big mistake.
