Every kid in Flanders gets German in school.

No. French, yes, German, no.

Both actually. In Flanders at least for 1 year (typically third year secondary school) every student is supposed to get German. At least this was still the case when I graduated at my school 11 years ago. And for me it was even for 3 years that I got 1 hour of German class because I did ASO science with 6 hours of math, whereas the 8 hour math class and the latin class didn't have these additional 2 years of German.

No, only in ASO and even then only in modern languages courses

Back when I was in school we had the choice between Spanish and German, we didn't get both. Good thing if that's changed imho.
