Same here. We could take Spanish or French in middle school and elementary school is just a haze at this point. When I graduated in the 90s, a foreign language credit was on the minimum high school requirements to graduate and two credits were required under my district's recommended plan. Most of us took two semesters of Spanish but a friend of mine took one Spanish and one German. Our school district wasn't even all that large or well-off (though it is now, thanks to suburban sprawl in north Texas) and we had Spanish, French, German, and (I kid you not) Latin.
