Like Margo just don't understand your schooling system.
So how big are your middle/high schools? How do they offer all these different levels of so many different classes?
Do you have a core national curriculum?
I'm guessing your schools must be much larger than ours.
We have streamed classes in high school (years 7-12) but it's still just eg English then A-D classes. (And in years 7 and 8 there is a single 'advanced class' and the rest are mixed ability). A little different in years 11 and 12 when they do their final exams but even then I could be sure most schools don't offer as many subjects in total as some of you are describing at middle school.
