Rob, I teach a high school photo class that can go 2 years if the kids decide to take it to the AP level, but this is at a Catholic school that has made an especially strong commitment to the Arts. (because I have 20 kids to a class and a 4 station darkroom with a sink the size of a shoebox, the course is largely about PS) The sort of thing you're talking about is out of the norm, in my experience, except at magnet schools and in larger cities.
