So there are 2 (really 3) separate issues here:
• No college cares what foreign language is studied in HS,provided that HS credit is earned. I’ve used as an example before: If an applicant from the Punahou School, for example, presents an exceptional application package, no AO is going to say, “Darn, I would have admitted him if only he didn’t choose to spend 4 years studying a useless language like Hawaiian.”
• If the college has a foreign language requirement to graduate, a student who studied a less commonly taught language.like Turkish, may have an issue with an exemption.
• I’m not an expert on SC public education, but my guess is that you were given incorrect information when told “our state won’t count the language towards its “world language” credit requirement.” I highly doubt that lawmakers went out of their way to exclude Turkish (and Italian). I further doubt that a charter school would offer a language that does not comply. If this impacts your kids getting a HS diploma, then I would fight it.If it’s not going to prevent them from getting a diploma, I’d forget about it and move on.
