Thank you so much for the detailed answer! It is really helpful!
A haven't heard of Shakespeare classes before, but makes sense to read out loud there (for poetry anyway). Was that a class everone took or could students pick between multiple classes?
Looking at what you and the other replies wrote, dissection seems to be quite common in the USA... I know about a few classes where I live which did dissection (of a cow's eye or a fish iirc) but it's rather uncommon here, and usually voluntary.
You're right, I should keep in mind how huge the USA are and how varying different places can be. I should have rather phrased it "Are there schools in the USA which are in some way [...]" and not compare all schools in the USA to the cliche ones at once... Sorry.
