I did think it was due to the 1a-1b being for the 7-8th grade kids and the school going 7-12 this not accommodating the 9th graders (except, I assume, for those who were not enrolled in FL in middle School due to being in remedial classes).
So basically they’d want you to take a class with the 7th graders? Or would there be a special 9th grade section?
Are there any other languages offered?
1a-1b is excruciatingly slow. (HS 1 is slow already.)
Is there any normal track for any language or any way you can take Spanish 1 in summer school (HS or college) so you start in Spanish 2 freshman year with your cohort?
I’d pull my hair out if the already super slow hs1 curriculum were split over two years. Just my own situation here but it’d be unbearable for me. Seriously can’t imagine putting a kid through that unless they actually need a slow paced class.
