jackb_guppy writes with word that "Legislation that would let students use computer programming courses to satisfy foreign-language requirements in public schools moved forward in the Kentucky Senate on Thursday." From the article: "Kentucky students must earn 22 credits to graduate high school, but 15 of those credits represent requirements for math, science, social studies and English — and college prerequisites call on students to have two credits of foreign language, [state senator David] Givens said. Meanwhile, Givens pointed to national statistics showing that less than 2.4 percent of college students graduate with a degree in computer science despite a high demand in the market and jobs that start with $60,000 salaries." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Kentucky%3A+Programming+Language+%3D+F oreign+Language%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F14%2F01%2F25%2F2222206%2F%3Futm_source%3 Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dtwitter) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fstor y%2F14%2F01%2F25%2F2222206%2Fkentucky-programming-language--foreign-language%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfa cebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://news.slashdot.org/story/14/01/25/2222206/kentucky-programming-language--foreign-language?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
