[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ones that want their students to go to college. [/quote] Really, which public school systems require all students to study foreign language? Does MCPS? I don't know of a public system that does this.[/quote] Whether or not they require it, area high schools strongly urge their college-bound students to take languages. This is because they know that many colleges require 1-2 years of language as a prerequisite for admissions. Without 2+ years of a language, you might as well not apply to certain top colleges. Further, once you get to college, most will make you take 1-2 years of a college-level language. You may be able to test out of college language requirements if you did enough languages in high school, and that's a second reason to take languages in high school. This is not simply because colleges like to torture students about languages any way they can. It's that global competitiveness thing again[/quote]
