My high school counselors told everyone we needed two years of a foreign language to graduate. It was common knowledge, everyone just listened and took the classes. Everyone. I read the student handbook and it listed the graduation requirements and it said nothing about foreign language. I never took one. My friends didn’t catch on until senior year and when I told them, they warned that I would be in big trouble and might not get to graduate. They freaked out. One girl called me an idiot. I showed them the graduation requirements, available for anyone to read in the student handbook or counselor’s office. No one ever said a word. I graduated. Always read the terms and conditions, y’all.
