  Have you attended those classes or just citing something you googled? Because they aren’t the same now as they were in the 50s or 90s. And those classes are like once a week now as academic classes are the main focus. This type of schooling still does not cater for kids who often excel in these classes but do poorly in general academics. But hey. Keep pushing those kids through the meat grinder!!!

    I have, I grew up in NSW. They are twice a week while core academics are 3x. Even within that, science tends to be pretty practical. PE is twice a week. In year 11 and 12 you can fill your classes with electives if you want, you might not get an ATAR for university if you don’t do English and maths.
