This is great. It seems like some people are tripping on whether this is the % of students who take a foreign language at any point during K-12 OR if it’s the % of all K-12 students currently taking a foreign language class.
As another axis for analysis, it would be interesting to see how these figures have changed over the years (like, do we see a sharp uptick with college language requirements after 1968’s bilingual education act?). Or, as an accumulation of language credits through 12th grade, when most of these classes take place.
