these are high schoolers we’re talking about, sure people have used the excuse of the classes not being given but if they were, nearly no one would be interested.
also you need to keep budget in mind and the teacher shortage

I went to a public US high school with a nursing magnet program and an automotive program.
Both saw you with a phlebotomist license or a technician certification respectively.
These were wildly popular programs despite having academic requirements (for the nursing track)
I think high schoolers care about practicality, actually.

crazy thought, though.
Maybe pay teachers more? Make it a more attractive career? Vote in superintendents with more education experience than corporate.
Idk… anything but throw your hands up and say “well nobody wants to teach so idk”
I'm sure there are some corporate superintendents, but I've never seen one. It is almost always a teacher's union endorsed ex-teacher who was recently a principal in the district, or a superintendent from another district in the state.
Live near a big school district (major metropolitan area), then you will see the corporate and career political types in the CEO office.
I think things would be much better if they had been teachers, but the teachers are all either burnt out or still teaching.
Baking cookies and learning to sew was at least a nice break from studying books.
