Yes my public high school had it as a language back in the late 1980s/early 90s.

Fair enough. Also thanks for not being one of the comments saying ‘they definitely exist in America how dare you’ 🙄 I could’ve worded it better but the goal of the post was to find edicational systems different than the one I personally went through, not to try to define all of America’s system in a few sentences. I put a fairly detailed description of that in one of my other replies if you’re curious but regardless, thanks for your time 🙂

My town was one of the wealthier in the USA at the time and had a substantial population of immigrants from Korea/Japan/Taiwan so it made sense as a third language offering for the kids who were going back to Asia.
A ton of American kids took it because their parents were in finance and pushed it.
