    Yeah my high school said colleges would like for you to take a foreign language class, but it's not required to graduate from here. Some students did think it was required to graduate and a couple I talked to at the time were surprised to learn I didn't take any and still graduated.

    At my high school you needed 2 communication credits, foreign languages counted, so did drama, journalism, year book, cheer squad (this always puzzled me as it was not even a class), and others I am sure I am forgetting as it was 30ish years ago.

    I took 3 1/2 years of French in high school, but barely used it after graduation. I do wish we had more language learning in school.

    In elementary school half of our day was taught in Spanish, but an ignorant parent (my mother) complained so loudly that the project was scrapped after only a couple months.
