I'm sure a lot of you might mention video games of some sort, but I don't mind, I don't even know the specific classes. But I really wish they'd give us the option to leave out History, and take Computer Programming instead How many computer programmers actually use that inane knowledge anyways? Now, the video game designers might use it for FPS war games, or mythological games, etc, but some people don't need classes they force us to take in High school.So what class do you wish they had in High School (existing or not, lol)

It would mostly vary based on the curricula in different places.Like, I know I went to a high school once where there were more unique classes that offered better courses for college preparation. (not necessarily advance placement though)Some schools are more inclusive in their courses, but like you said, there are those that force the standard subjects.Not that they shouldn't, but if anything, students should have a lot more flexibility in their studies and college planning.Some classes should be mandatory, because you'd be surprised at how useful they can be in some way or another.However, you get those classes sometimes that just seem to cover too much unnecessary detail or constantly reteach old material as if all students have ADHD.I'd like to see more classes out there that emphasize on things you'd typically have to wait until college to get any exposure to, like programming, as you said.Also more classes that offer opportunities for students to get more experience with creativity and aesthetics. Not everyone wants to have to choose between becoming a doctor, lawyer, or working part time at KFC.

I wish they had let me replace Biology with Economics or Computer Science. Both would have been much more useful and entertaining. Hell, even Astronomy would have been better. All the Astronomy I got in highschool was have a chapter in General Science :/

Definitely theology, but sadly, physics replaced that. They used to have it though

Some kind of starcraft theory class. Or maybe even a computer science class. Something that I have a genuine interest in and is pratical and very complicated.
