I’d now like to see his curriculum. P.S. I don’t know anyone who went to high school that didn’t take a second language.
You do now. :) But that's not the current policy, AFAIK. I even got through my bachelor's and master's degrees with out taking any language courses. Finally a little over 10 years ago I took two semesters of college level Spanish. I understand a little, especially if it's spoken with a Cuban accent. (My instructor is a contemporary of Fidel, having played basketball against him in Cuba. He even looks a bit like him, but without the beard).
