When I was a freshman at my high school, I was offered Latin, French, Spanish, Russian, German, Japanese, Italian, and Arabic. Ancient Greek was offered intermittently.
By the time I graduated, budget cuts and an increasing focus on STEM had led to the school offering only Latin, French, and Spanish.
Also responsible: the Arabic teacher getting fired for threatening to murder some of her students. !ما شاء الله

It doesn't necessarily follow that education is getting worse, though.

But it has. College is now teaching what high school should have.

To some extent - not entirely - it's just that the ideas of general knowledge were different.

I do agree with you in large parts - but I don't see the full picture as bleakly. Maybe wrongly.

Surely if you invest in your child's education, you should aim to get the most bang for your buck.

Then why do we need Strong Female characters? Why is it wrong to portray possible racism?
