▶ Your Answer :
People may complain about the educational
curriculum in schools. They often think what they are learning will not turn
out to be useful and rewarding when they have specific jobs. However, I
strongly think that people need to learn general subjects in high schools or
universities.
First, people need to learn and recognize what
is interesting to them by tapping into many different general subjects. Also,
their favorite subject can even change over time. In my experience, I enjoy
mathematics when I was grade 8. I frequently received perfect scores and ranked
the top in the math class. Thus, I thought I can major math when I get into the
college later on. However, during grade 10, I found a strong interest in
studying biology. Also, when the report about the stem cell research made a
headline in Korean newspaper, I got highly inspired to study biology as a major
in college in order to become a researcher at the end. Because of my personal
experience, I think that schools should teach students about general courses
rather than specific careers.
Second, it is very helpful in a life to learn
variety of general subjects. People will simply become a dumb if they just
delve into the specific careers. According to the survey from department of
education in Korea, the majority of people responded that learning diverse
general courses built up their common senses and this turned out to be very
valuable in everyday life. Thus, although it might be overwork, the majority of
people said that learning general subjects is truly rewarding. When I was a
high school student I learned Japanese in my school and I really appreciate now
for that school curriculum. This is because I could help Japanese travelers visiting
my country when they have problems. Thus, I agree with schools teaching general
subjects.
In
conclusion, schools should provide many different general subjects because
people can be aware of what they are interested in. Furthermore, learning
general classes enables people to accumulate variety of simple knowledge which
is very useful in a life. Hence, I think school should teach general classes
rather than specific careers. |
