In middle school, I completed high school Spanish 1 and received A+ grades both semesters. The high school I am going to is trying to force me into taking Spanish 1 again and I do not consent! Can they make me? I live in FL, if not is there a law that states something related to that.
Take it again and get an easy A. You need three years of a foreign language for most colleges.
Did you take a placement test and score low?
My guess would be that the material covered in the high school class is more comprehensive than the material covered in your middle school class.
They have no interest in setting you up for failure. They want their kids to succeed academically, and are trying to set you up for that success.
Your consent is not needed. Regardless, your consent as a 13-14 year old carries no legal weight.
No, there is no law. As stated earlier, the school, for some reason, thought that your preparation was insufficient to move to Spanish 2. You can certainly try to contest that, but if they give you a placement test, and you do not do well, you are only hurting yourself if you try to pursue Spanish 2.
Switch to a different language.
Take Spanish again. It won’t hurt you.
Well, it’s not illegal for a school to make you take a class. If it were illegal to make a student take a class that they didn’t want to take, that would be very bad. But you obviously feel strongly about this, so I would talk to your guidance counselor or principal when you get there. They may be able to change the class.
I would talk to a counselor, as he/she may be able to give you a placement test to get out of Spanish 1 and into Spanish 2.
