[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 394421, member: 3493"] ASL is NOT easy. My daughter took a year's worth in 8 weeks over last summer to fulfill her college requirements (she took Latin in middle and HS and her college didn't offer it) and she worked hard and said it was not easy. My 14 year old took a year of it in 7th grade. He did well but also said it was NOT easy. He is dyslexic and was offered ASL because it was felt to be easier. He's in 9th now and is foreign language exempt. They tried Spanish in 6th and 8th grades and it was a disaster. He is thinking of taking Latin next year but would do ASL if offered. If your son is doing well in French and is enjoying it, I would say let him keep it. As for the bio, my 9th grader is enjoying it and doing well; however, he is in regular bio, not Honors, and it's pretty basic but I can't put him in Honors because he can't work fast enough. He has resource room every other day. He wants to drop it except for math because his math teacher is horrific. Bottom line is, if your son enjoys bio and/or French, is doing well enough to satisfy you and himself, and he wants to keep taking them, I'd let him. [/QUOTE]
