I grew up in a lower middle class suburb of Los Angeles, started High School in Sep’60 and took an academic slate of classes designed for college prep. These included American, English & World History & Literature, English, math, Chemistry, Physics, Gov’t, Civics, Spanish, Acapella Choir, sports and a few electives.
I don’t recall we kids being highly competitive. Roughly 30% were Hispanic/Latino. If I remember...
