You weren't required to take Math, Science, English, and History each year prior to now? When I was in highschool I had to take math, science, english and history each year. We were only required to take PE once though. We were also required to take a foreign language.

I don't think you should be blaming anyone but your state congress who pass the public school requirements (or your school board). This is not the President's fault, IMO. Teachers should be accountable if they can't teach their classes (although teachers also need to have better pay if they do their job well, but that is another issue). If your school system feels that the only way to have their students pass national tests is to take away electives, then blame them, not the President.
