Foreign language requirement: only 2 yrs in HS means 3 more yrs at a UC??

<p>

<p>How is that statistically possible? </p>

<p>I just don’t see why language should be dismissed. It would be like saying “well my kid isn’t good with math so we dropped math so their GPA could be 4.0” or “my kid can’t write his way out of a paperbag so we dropped English so his GPA is now 4.0”. I really don’t get it (and this is coming from someone who has always sucked at languages as do all her children). Even if you never approximate fluency or the ability to use the language in a functional way, learning a language is hugely important in unique ways. Just having to struggle to learn the grammar of any foreign language is extremely developmental to a wide range of other subjects.</p>
