Ah I see now. I was wrongfully assuming that when you mentioned the choir you were referring to it being at school. And it is true that many school extra curricular programs go into decline, but I'm really hoping most of those are simply in transitional periods rather than an extinction phase. As for teaching math at a junior high, all I can say is, I'm sorry. lol. Junior high kids can be rough enough will all the different craziness going on in their lives, but trying to get them to focus on math must be one hell of a task. I had a balding overweight male teacher who used to have barbies all over his room and on the last couple of days, we would make measurements and try to make them proportional to an actual human. It was actually fairly interesting, albeit that it was entirely at his own expense (though I think he could care less about the opinions of middle schoolers).
