Some people believe that students should continue their studying after graduating high school. However, I think that students should take a year off and work or take trips. This is because it is more important to learn what life is than to learn academic materials, and also because students can get to know what field it is that they really want to work in by experiencing out-of-classroom environments.
Even though being intelligent academically is very important, it can’t compare to the value of life and moral. No matter how smart one is, he can’t be recognized if he doesn’t behave well. In the past, not many people were educated, so anyone with some academic background could be officials even if they were rude and arrogant. However, as the world is developing quickly, more and more people have the opportunity of learning, which means academic backgrounds can’t solely be used as a criterion of success. For example, there were more power abuses of government officials in the past then there is now, just because they were smart enough to ridicule the common. This shows that being ethical is more important than being intellectual, which means that students can take a year off after high school to think about the genuine beauty of their lives.
Furthermore, students earn an opportunity to think about what their true interests are by having a break from real classroom environments, having a part time job, and by taking trips. One can learn to appreciate the value of other cultures or even his own culture. Cultures are very valuable in the aspect that they represent specific characteristics of a group of people. A student might get inspired from these traits and decide his major easily when he goes to a college. According to a survey, 70 percent of those who had taken a break from schools for a while responded that they felt comfortable choosing their majors or deciding what their future job is going to be like. The survey encouraged many people to consider taking a year off from school to learn about life.
To summarize, students can think about moral and value of life by taking a short break from school, gain knowledge of different types of jobs in the world, and get to know what their real interests are. Therefore, I think that parents should allow students to take a break from school works for a while, offering them an opportunity to live a more successful life.
