I’ve shared before that our high school did not require foreign language for graduation; classes in engineering or computers could be substituted.
Even though my spouse is fluent in 3 languages, my kids took the minimum number of foreign language classes required for college during the summer. One of our state schools accepts the engineering/computer classes instead of a foreign language, so it’s possible to get through college with no foreign language instruction at all.
I have mixed feelings about it. I used to believe foreign language study was imperative to a well-rounded education, but there are so many more areas of study now compared to when I went to school. Should computer programming be considered a foreign language? Maybe not, but I’d argue that programming skills are becoming increasingly valuable in many fields.
