All Korean high school has already decided the subjects that Korean high school student needs to study, so most of students learn their subject reluctantly. They simply do not have options to take what they want to study. Furthermore, it is mandatory for Korean high school students to stay until 10:00 to self-study. Throughout this process, most of them suffer from tremendous stress and even do not have time to rest because of compelling demands from their parents or teachers. Therefore, it is indispensable for high schools to allow their students to study the courses that student want. It is not only gives students a great stage for preparing their future coursees, but also offers them a chance to find their interests and peculiarities.
First and foremost, it is necessary for student to contemplate their future lives. If they have a chance to think or undergo the steps of their future courses, they can decide their major more easily and afford them an interest about specific field. Furthermore, studying their favorite courses can give them a time to change their courses if they feel that these courses are not adequate with them after they experience many subject. When I was studying in China, I also felt limitation of choosing my own courses because Chinese education system is similar with what Korea has. I got the free to choice options when I entered American curriculum high school. I tried many subjects and it actually gave a tremendous effect on deciding my major. It really offered me a splendid opportunity to decide my future job.
Most Korean parents educate their child as early as possible; what we called early education. To be specific, they do it by hiring English babysitter and sending their child to English or other language based kindergarten. The main reason why parents do this is that they want their child to be more successful than they accomplished and have thought that their child will be innately outweighed than other same age kid. However, parents do these actions. It is hard for their child to be consummate, because parents are simply forcing their child to take instead of let their child to take their favorite courses. If high school offers chance to take their own courses to study, their student will find their nature accidentally. It will give their student to decide their own major.
In conclusion, most high school tends to force their student to take the arranged courses even though some of them are totally useless in society. If school offers their student an opportunity to choose their own courses, they are preparing a great anchored bridge for their student’s future. |
