There should be math and reading but they should gear it towards the vocational fields, some may even need some advanced classes to meet their job goals. There is nothing wrong with education, we just need to change what some kids are taught.

they used to do a lot of improv and the students loved it. now they can hardly fill the classes.
So why don't you lobby for improv to be be added to the test?
Oh that's right, you don't care about improving things. You just want to bitch about Bush.
Carry on.
I am the chair of the school leadership team and the school chapter leader. I lobby for such things everyday.

Nothing in high school is practical to get a real job and much of college is the same way. its because teachers and professors live in a communist system much removed from reality

I graduated from high school with 1.2 GPA. They only graduated me because I was a jock.
I started a couple years later in junior college and the love of learning has only increased with years.

Art and music don't really need to be taught, give a kid a crayon and they will naturally draw and they are always walking around humming and singing their own songs.

This may come as a surprise to you but there's been more than one thread on this subject.
When Poet bitches about standardized tests he's bitching about NCLB and it's creator Bush.

Standardized tests make teachers look bad. This is why teachers are against them
