It depends, I wish the students would have more freedom of choice.
Like I hated doing Sports class but liked when we had the gym - but we couldn't choose that, it was just assigned each term.
Likewise for choosing subjects, as soon as I could I studied only science and mathematics. I really liked Music before too, but being forced to do Art and English poetry (in England) was horrible, I'm terrible at Art and never cared for poetry - or for the assigned literature compared to what I would just read myself.
Stuff like that just makes people hate school and not want to take part.
