EC activites- club or class??

<p>we all know that there’s a plentiful number of activities at school, in which most are clubs.
i know that some schools have these activities as a class ie. Speech Honors, Mock Trial, Model UN, etc.
what EC activities does ur school offer as a class and how often do you meet to prepare for conferences/competitions/etc? and if you have a class, does it count as a weighted or unweighted class?
it just feels that not having a class for these activities gives a lack of preparation compared to schools that have a class program.</p>

<p>one other question - for these activities are there more schools that have it as a club or class?</p>
