Please tell me what you guys think about this because this is total bull****!!!!

first of all...u're lying....cuz no way inhell can a student be good in all his subjects and be flunking in one......either a guy'z an idiot or a real brain....he can't be both!!

dude? spanish is not hard, but it is unfair to get held a whole grade

in my school, if you pass all your courses but fail one, you only repeat that one you failed

You're being held back a whole grade for one class?  I don't see how that's possible.duxup

No you guys I'm serious, I'm doing good in Math, English, Civics, etc except Spanish it's not an F yet but it's a D- and if I flunk my Spanish exam that's comming up in 2 weeks I failed that class possibly holding me back.atrain4

That depends. How did the rest of your class do and what's the spread?

If the majority of your class is receiving A's and B's and you're getting and F, then at the very least you should be tested for a learning disability. Forget that, let's start with the most likely explanation... did you do the required work for the class? I mean, damn, an F is usually harder to get than an A.

And this is just my opinion, but I don't think language courses should take a back seat to English, Math, and the sciences. I think people in the United States tend to underestimate the importance of learning a second language because we like to vacuum seal ourselves from the rest of the world. Spanish especially is a worthwhile language to learn.

I'm an American, but I still find myself saying, "Fricken Americans." Let's not be content with the status quo (which is unreasonably low at the moment).

I don't know about where you live, but where I live, if you fail a subject in say grade 10, you go to grade 11 but repeat the 10 subject and then lose one spare for the 11 the next semester, so even if they hold you back (which they will not) you should be fine

ps, tell you're parents to have a meeting with you're guidance counselor, they will make sure there is no problem.

Are you in Middle school? High school? If so, bring your parents into this, Then itll be resolved in favour of youBEAN_LARD_MULCH

That doesn't make sense, since Spanish isn't a major subject.

If you fail one course that can't hold you back a year. And for the record, you're not required to learn a second language because of illegal aliens.lagosboy

and ne1 in the wolrd worth talking to  knows english ne way 

Your reluctance to learn another language and show appreciation for another culture should be enough reason to hold you back. Students should be required to learn several languages, its the only way we're going to progress as a civilization.xhungbyhopex

I know that sarcasm doesn't always come across in text, but if this isn't sarcasm then I hearby lable you and your kind the single greatest threat to humanity. That's right, you are a greater threat than GIANT Earth destroying astroids, and if evolution follows your trend it won't be long before we're all swinging from trees and beating each other with sticks. You've damned us all. To hell with you. Please say this was sarcasm.

No habla?! tsk tsk...

I don't believe they hold people back a whole year for failing one class.

Ok it is a possibility that I might receive an F on my last report card for the year in Spanish. Do you think it is fair to hold back a student a whole grade just for Spanish. I'm doing excellent in all my other classes I have A's and B's in them. But Spanish is my only F! I'm in Spanish II and it is sooooo hard! So do u think it's fair to hold back someone who fails a subject that is not even important and you should'nt be required to take. I mean, I SPEAK ENGLISH let the illegal aliens learn ENGLISH. It's not fair that we have to learn Spanish!atrain4

I would say no thats not fair, however, after reading the illegal aliens comment I think you should not only be held back in school but perhaps life in general.

hey i never took spanish or any other langangue classes cause its pointless.. i rather speak english then other langange..

and now i'm in first year of college.. see all i'm sayin is u dont have to take it unless u want go to university or private schools
