I think it was available as early as grade 10 or 11 for me. I wasn't able to get in though because it was full. I ended up in home ec because it was full until the next year. Fair enough, I don't disagree with you there.

That's an absolutely great idea too. I think I recall hearing about an event like that happening at my school too.
