I believe that i had a pretty average high school experience, I usually got all of the classes that i wanted. There were some classes that I loved and some that I wanted to love but they just didn't have the right teacher I feel. Overall I wouldn't want to see too much change other than bringing back the carpentry and metal working classes those were some of the best classes I experienced.
