I mean the whole school I went through kept nailing in our heads how much a foreign language would benefit you. I guess this went under the noses of whoever like teaching kids to balance a checkbook.

      In my generation, yes. I doubt that’s changed in the last 5 10 15 really? 20 ohno 25 30ish years.

      Edit: Rural Ohio for the first part of my schooling, but not really different from what I could tell in the big city when I moved for my final year.

          Glad I could help. I guess the one gotchya here might be if some state has a board of education with more strict requirements, but I doubt that (especially in the era of national standardized tests and teaching to pass those).
