- All of the subjects should stay except for language (ex. Spanish/French also language can be taken in high school) because a second language is not needed for a student to succeed with the exception of those who don’t speak English (or English is not their first language) which in that case would be acceptable but if it’s not needed it could cause more stress to the students day to day learning. P.E promotes good health, The Arts are a great outlet for those who may not exceed in academics or don’t see themselves choosing anything but The Arts as a career path and Math/LA are used for MAP.
