My high school was structured that way. The business/shop kids took
Spanish and typing; I took German and calculus. In the course of my life
Spanish and typing would have been a lot more useful. After dcades of
programming I still type with about 5 fingers and am completely screwed
if the letters wear off the keys. I sometimes can understand German
tourists in the National Parks, but not 65% of the California people.
