▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that high school student should be given freedom to choose some of their classes. However, in my opinion, high school student should take all classes mandatorily. This is because they can have diverse kind of knowledge from a variety of classes and have a chance to know their potential talent.
First of all, they can acquire diverse fields of knowledge from required classes. High school is where teenagers improve basic refinement. That is why there are various classes which they would hardly access to unless they are major in the specific subject in University. For example, generally speaking, girls prefer art class to P.E class. This being so, they are more inclinable to choose art class rather that P.E class. In the case of boys, it would be the opposite. Thus girls who never take P.E class could rarely have opportunities to learn about P.E. Therefore, given required subject, high school students compulsorily can have broad knowledge.
Secondly, I believe that student can evaluate their talent and preference before entering university with required classes. High school is the very important period to explore themselves in terms of their capacity and future career. They could make either short-term or long-term plan through experiencing and learning different kind of subject. In my case, for example, I loved art class when I was high school and decided that I would study in depth something related in art. With that experience I could major in film. If they have freedom to choose what they want to take, they might miss the chance that they can consider what they want to be in the future.
To sum up, with the mandatory subject system, students have more beneficial aspect in terms of having wide knowledge and opportunities to get to know their aptitude.
In this regard, I assert that high school student should take the required classes rather than be permitted to choose some of their classes.
