As there are countless subjects to select from, and since the subjects that students study takes up a big portion of their future jobs, it is common for students facing problems with selecting subjects. Nowadays, as techonology developed, things became more complicated, and made people to specialize in a certain subject. Some might argue that students today, should follow this trent, and students should have the options to pick the subjects they want to study, and master in the field that they are intrested in. However, I think that students should not be able to choose what subjects they would study. First of all, only certain subjects would be popular. Secondly, students can have a broader perspective on what they want to do in the future.
Students who are teens are in their adolescence, the middle of an adult and a child, have a blurry idea of him or herself. Also they tend to follow the trend, and try to do the same things as their peers do. If students are allowed to choose sthe subjects they will study, the there would be great chaos. For instance, students would only pick subjects that seem easy, and the subjects that their friends pick. If student A listens to a course about art, other friends would try to take the same courses, leading to the unequality in subjects. Few classes would be filled with peole not having the space to squeeze in any more students. On the otherhand, classes that are not popular would have barely entough students to continue on.
The school's main purpose is to educate students in various fields, and help them out on what they are talanted in, and make students improve on that subject. But if students are to choose the subjects, they would not be willing to study about the topics they dislike, only having a narrow knowledge on a few subjects. If students actually choose the subjects they are interested in now, and later on find out that the subject doesn't fit or her, what whould they do? Eventhough if they change the subjects later, the time and effort would be wasted. By having the chance to study many subjects, they would have a general knowledge on many field, and it would help them out later in the future, having more topics to understand.
Thesedays poeple say that students should study they are interested in and master in that field. However, I disagree with this matter, since it would make students out of balance in certain fields. Also, it would not give chances for students th find out what they are truly talanted, and interested in. Therefore, I say that students should follow the curriculum schools offer students. |
