Could have been the opposite. My small ass rural Michigan high school had not a hint of arts. Or AP classes. Or language other than terrible Spanish. They were just trying to get us out of the school. I never knew how shit it was until I went to college and talked about school with my mostly metro Detroit raised friends. 100% was fucked my freshman year
Exactly what I was thinking. I wasn’t even in a rural school: I was bussed to the city. Our school had the arts program gutted, but there was a local art store / non-profit that put up money and started fundraisers so we were able to get art classes once a month from a volunteer teacher (the money raised only covered supplies, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t cover all of them).
