[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 9313302, member: 7026617"] I vaguely remember them in elementary. If they were present in high school it was as electives, and they didn't seem any more occupied than other electives. They certainly weren't mandatory, and competing with things like music and drama. (And yes, I'm in the U.S.) Just asked my wife and she took one as an elective in her senior year (and she's significantly younger than me, and from Texas rather than California) and had not had one any of her prior high school years. I'd be interested to hear other people, but I do know the presence of things like art, music and other related classes has been very hit or miss in large parts of the U.S. for big chunks of my life. No, its a reasonable question. Not beyond the mandatory ones in elementary. I had a neurological injury as a child that made anything I did with my hands (and far as that goes, overall body), shall we say, sub-standard. It wasn't until I was in my twenties that my brain had apparently worked its way around it. As such, my interest in the arts tended to be in drama and literature (and to a limited degree, at one time, music--I had a period where I was an at least a competent keyboardist and could read music).
