▶ Your Answer : Some people say that every student in a country should take the same national curriculum until college. I, however, diagree with the idea and undoutedly believe that benefits outweigh drawbacks when it comes to have the different curriculum for the students before entering the university. The insist is based from following two reasons.
First of all, with taking variety of curriculum students will have much more and better chance to choose their future major at a university. In particular, by taking different experiences, including field based ones, thety are able to take the opportunities to think over what they like and do better at the university. For example, when I was high school students, I could take the experience at the animal hospital. It was not the regular curriculum provied by the school but suggestion from a friend of my old brother as he majored Veterinary medicine at that time. It was precious experience because of the chance I could learn about myself and finally I made the decision to choose the Veterinatry medicine as my major entering the university. A great deal of the students after strating the college of the Veterinary medicine, dropped off the course since they realised that the major did not fit with them.
Second reason is that changes of the society too fast to follow the trends in this era.To be more specific, with the developing of the technology we are facing huge differences of the surroundings. However, the same public curriculum can not reflect the changes of society effectively since it has consensus on interests of the student. Thus the student who needs cutting edge knowlege and information about certain major should have extra class from out side of the school. For instance of my son, he is, nine years old, elementary school student and he likes to invent program using mobile devices. However, at the school he is not able to take the guidance from teachers due to lack of curricum. That is why I let him take the tutoring from private academy.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that students should take the different curriculum since it gives particular oppotunities to choose the major and it is much effective to follow the trends from the society by taking the differnent course. |
