▶ Your Answer :
It is widely practiced and causes little controversy that almost every high school requires students take classes in so many subjects regardless of their stances. While some people argue that students should not be allowed to choose which subjects they will study, I strongly believe that students should the right to select which subjects they want. Obviously, it is helpful for students to choose their majors after few years and also they are so interested in the subjects they select.
First of all, elective courses allow students to find out the fittest majors for themselves. In high school, if students realize their interests and aptitudes, they will not have to waste their time and money transfering their majors. From my experience, when i was a freshman in a university, i major in electronic engineering. After first semester, i realized that current major is not fit to me and decided to transfer my major from electronic engineering to economics. As a result, although now i am junior, i have to take lectures for freshmen. That is, tranfering forces me to waste too much time.
Besides the right to choose subjects motivates students to study harder. I agree with the saying "an endeavorer can not prevail against an enjoyer." everyone tend to be successful in their interested in areas. Such as studnets need to develop their aptitudes little earlier by select subjects they want. To take one example, my brother was only excellent in math. My parents was trying to force him to study the other subjects but he couldn't focus on them which got out of his interest. Eventually, he won and got into Seoul university's mathematics which are the most famous college in Korea.
To sum up, i am convinced that if students can choose which subjects they will study, they will gain better achievements in their academies. The reasons are that electives allow students to figure out their future majors and aptitudes, and give them much motivation and incentives. All in all, I believe that thses are the most important factors for students' successful futures. |
