For the last couple decades, at least, you can take all of those classes as 4 year programs at my local, public high school. In fact, you can take most of them at the same time. As it turns out, students have more than 1 class on their schedules every year! We also have mechanical engineering, culinary, law enforcement & forensic science, marketing & business, computer science, game design, education, ROTC, printshop, photography, we even have a class that teaches students how to do their taxes! (it is literally 2 lessons) and this is in Texas where people assume the worst about our schools. Many people that comment here about education don't really know what happens in a school outside of their memories of going to school as a teenager. When I became a teacher and looked back at the school I went to, I was surprised at all the opportunities that were available that I either wasn't interested in, or didn't notice existed. Most things that people think "schools should teach" are actually being taught at schools.
