When I was younger it was mandatory to have: English, Math, History and Science with PE (not needed if you played sports) and one elective which was either Spanish, Russian, French or German OR you could take a second science class (Physics. Chem, Bio, Environmental Science, MicroB)
Now most schools are mandatory: Reading which replaced critical thinking English which demanded students read books/write papers on them and now "reading" is read specifically assigned cultural books/no papers needed. Math (Algebra 2 is being removed now). When I was in every freshman started at least at Algebra 1 - now they start at adding and subtracting (not kidding). History was replaced with Humanities which is all cultural studies shit, gay agenda shit, etc. Science. PE was removed and is not mandatory anymore and was replaced with basic computer course and the final is a mandatory foreign language class which now only offers Chinese, Spanish or Arabic.
No critical thinking anymore, cultural shit rammed down their throat, no physical education pushed… common core teaching/testing… and they wonder why the younger people are coming out fucktarded.
