According to a great editorial from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, "as school budgets grew tighter, the share of elementary schools offering language classes fell from 31% to 25% in the 11 years ending in 2008; the share of middle schools dropped from 75% to 58%. The percentage of high schools offering language classes was about the same. The numbers come from a survey published this year by the Center for Applied Linguistics in Washington, D.C."
