▶ Your Answer :
In high schools, students are required to learn different subjects to graduate. School wants to give student opportunity to experiment every subject so that they can find out what they really want to pursue later on. Although, I agree that this can be advantagious to some students, it can also be a waste of time. The reasoning behind this is that students can focus on subjects that they need and their attitude will change once they know they need that knowledge.
To start with, students can be prepared for their future when they study what they need in high school. In most of the high schools, requirements to graduate is complicated. Students have to take courses even if they are not interested nor need that subject in the future. It is unnecessary and a waste of time for the students to even attend that class. When they choose what courses that they want to take, students will become more knowledgeable and familiar with their field of study. For instance, a student who wants to be a doctor can spend more time in science lab rather than in other classes that the student is not interested in. As high school is a place where it prepares the students for the future, selective style curiculum can help the students be more equipped for later.
On top of that, when students learn what is important to them, they will be more willing to participate in classes. In high schools, there are always many problems of students whose behavior is worrisome. The school official has tried hard to change the students' attitude but there wasn't any progree because they are simply not interested. Students are actually interested in the work will participate and be more enthusiastic about their study. This will effect the students and the teachers and they can make a better school by a lot of participitation. Also, their grades will go up as students work harder and they are more happier with the situation.
Because selective curiculum can save time and energy of a student and gives them time to focus on their careers, I strongly believe that it is better decision for the students and the school. When one student finds his/her true calling, It will definitely improve their concentration and the level of devotion to the school. |
