Which subject did children learn at school in the 1950's?

" Biology, latin, spanish, english, grammer, algebra, trigonometry, reading, history ( World and United States), geography, music, gym." ( ' Some Major Differences Between High School in the 1950s and Now' by Anali Vargas, p.4)

In many schools in the 50s, the boys were taught craft skills like woodshop while the girls were taught home economics. Today, you'll find both genders are taught these subjects but I think in a lot of places ( not neccessarily all) there was a certain concept about what was "essential" for a boy to learn and what was " essential" for a girl to learn.

The nature of what was taught in schools in the 1950s ( for instance, the nature of science based subjects), and the *way* that it was taught ( very little kinesthetic learning or media based learning aids), would have been very different from today.
