<p>I'm currently taking Spanish 4 Honors (So in the process of completing my 4th year of a foreign language). It's literally unbearable. I have no idea what we're talking about, I "bs" my homework for the most part, and I've failed the first test miserably. About 5 kids, out of 30, have dropped, all of which being pretty smart kids to my understanding. </p>
<p>This is a really, really tough decision for me, due to the fact that this would be my last year of foreign language ever (including college). But, to my understanding, if you don't complete 4 years in high school, you have to take another year in college to get 4 years of it. 1. Pain in the A for money, and 2. Higher difficulty since it's being taught at a college. </p>
<p>So, if I can stick it out, which I'm assuming I can with a C+/B-, should I? Or should I drop Spanish 4 Honors and take up Marketing, which I have been wanting to take, but couldn't due to lack of space on my schedule.</p>
<p>It sounds like you would rather not be in Spanish 4 – so I would say drop it. However, you brought up the point that you would need to take a year of language in college if you don’t take the fourth year in high school? I don’t know if you are thinking of a particular school, but this isn’t true for most schools. Normally, you get out of language in college via AP/IB exams and/or placement exams administered by the university.</p>
<p>How would it be your last year, including college? Most colleges have gen ed requirements that include a language, which will be hard to place out of without AP/IB/placement test credit.</p>
<p>^^
And very likely a college foreign language placement test would prove to be a challenge for you since you’ll have a gap of 1 year since your last language course, and it would appear that you’re struggling at the level that you’re at. You may very find yourself retaking Spanish from level 1 or 2 at college.</p>
<p>There are probably colleges and college programs for which there are no language requirement. So if these will work for you then dropping the course may not matter.</p>
