There are many issues about education which are still being debated and are still debating until nowadays. One of the arguments say said that arts subjects as painting or drawing should not be made compulsory for high school students. In my perspective, I agree with this issue.
In my opinion that the arts are a professional area for people who have talents and passions in these fields. In other words, to succeed as an artist requires greater talent in field of art than ordinary people’s one and to develop own talents requires is required investment like early education. In contrast, high schools just only provide general educations in a variety of areas. (현재 고등학교가 어떤 과목을 제공하고 있는지는 논점의 대상이 아닙니다. 지금 미술을 고등학교에서 필수로 만들어서는 안 된다~라는 주장을 하고 계시므로, 이 문장을 수정하자면 '고등학교는 ~~~를 해야 하는 곳이다.' 정도가 더 낫겠네요.) Moreover, many of high school students have no talent for arts and they tend to think that arts are just one of habits.
Another reason is that lies in the difference in the way go to college. Most of students in high school take the test like SAT in order to enter university for entering it. However, students who want to major in field of art put more importance on their portfolio or practical test than result of paper test. (most 와 however 이 두 문장은 순서가 바뀌어야 합니다. 그래야 뒤의 in this situation 과 자연스럽게 연결될 수 있죠. 물론 그대로 바꿔서는 안 되고, 연결어 등도 같이 손을 봐주셔야겠죠.) In this situation, For for students who are aimed at entering college through tests whose entering tests are aimed at, art classes are a wastes of time. Likewise, high school classes (현재의 교육과정은~등으로 구체화해주셔야 합니다.) are burden to students who are preparing portfolio or practical test.
To sum up, arts and high school education are different in ways to achieve goal and feature. Therefore art class does not have to be mandatory in high school.
