D is for Differences (3): School Subjects

If you want to know more about the A to Z Blogging Challenge, click here.

I write YA fiction, which has led me to wonder how growing up is different for young people in different countries. In my first post we spoke about school systems: how the different years are organised/labelled, private vs public schools and when/how long school holidays are. In my second post we spoke about school dances: when they are, who they're for, and how over the top they become!

Today I want to know what you actually studied (or pretended to study!) at school.


I live in South Africa and when I was in high school I did:
English
Afrikaans
Mathematics
Science (that's Chemsitry + Physics)
Biology
Music
Additional Mathematics

Other common high school subjects in this country are Accounting, Business Studies, Drama, History, Geography, and all the different African languages.


So, tell me: where do you live and what did you study at school?
