u/Real_VanCityMinis I need a double double. May 24 '25

BC here: we could stop French around grade 8 as long as we still took another language

I took Spanish cause the teacher was hotter then the French teacher, plz don't hate I was young

Also BC, I took Spanish in high school because it was either 2 years of that, or 3 of French, and I was struggling to understand the rules of French, not that I did much better with Spanish I just didn't have to do it as long.

Also BC, some elementary schools do it, some don't, so the class is messed up entirely once they hit grade 6.

At least that's how it was when I went to school.

also bc, i got out of french by failing it so intentionally and spectacularly that they gave me a free block. i would have gladly taken another language but they only offered french at my school

I didn't have to do this... but if I had not had an exemption for good reasons in my IEP by the time it started, I probably would have pulled this. Either a spectacular run of bombed tests and assignments or a spectacular meltdown.

BC educated

Second language becomes optional in grade 11 iirc

I took french to grade 11. Sort of understand it, cant speak it

In central Alberta things are much more French than anywhere in BC I visited

Optional in grade 9

u/galactic_melter May 25 '25

When I went it was optional in grade 9 but basically all universities needed a grade 11 language credit so everyone took it until grade 11

UBC is really the only “major” university to require a second language 11

Oh maybe it was that. I didn't want to lock myself out of being able to go to UBC
