Yeah... this is incredibly dated.

I went to high school 20 years ago and it was mandatory to take at least 2 years of another language. My school was extra so they have 4 years available of Spanish/French/German/Japanese/Mandarin. That wasn't case at every school in our district but they all had Spanish and French.

This was public school.

Yea, I'm older than you then. It wasn't required when I was in school just strongly suggested (unless they won't let you like was my case). That said, how many people that learn just those 2 years in high school retain it in adulthood or use it regularly? It's something that you have to work at and there's really not much value in that for most of us.
