It's common for early forms in High School to take every subject so that when they get to choose which they want to study in more depth in later years, they have an idea what everything is like.

It's not really any different from girls doing Woodwork. Or boys doing Home Science (ala cooking)*. If Ballet is offered in later forms, why not have everyone do it in early forms?

* I knew someone in high school who actually did that. And it wasn't to meet girls, though I imagine that happens. No, he took it because his mum was a terrible cook.
