My year in junior high literally had to take basketweaving one semester, because the school’s funding kept getting cut year after year, until the school board capitulated to bring in French Immersion (as I recall; this was a long time ago, and I’m old. It was in Alberta).
Funding was being used to force the school board or parent-teacher committee or whatever…
In 7th grade, there were like 3 options we could choose from each semester; then 8th grade, 2; then 9th grade, just one ‘option’.
It’s pretty rich for politicians to accuse students of slacking, when the options are literally defunded in their schools.
