Maybe today, but not 20 years ago. I did take the highest levels of french available to me in high school. However, that meant 1 1 hour class per day with an Anglophone that got stuck teaching a french class out of a book that she herself didn't know how to read.
We learned to say "ils parlent" pronouncing the 's' and the 'ent'. When I got to Ottawa they told me that I was in a worse situation than having no french at all as I had to first unlearn what I was taught in high school.
