학교에서 general subject 대신에 specific career or job을 가르쳐야 하는가에 대한 에세이 입니다.
부탁드립니다.
If you learn only about your career or jobs, you would not be stressed by your dislikable subjects. However, you will have difficulties in changing careers because you have to restart from the real base. Besides, you could not get benefits from learning general subjects, so you might have difficulties in learning new duties or in solving the problems you could face in the future.
First of all, learning only about specific career instead of general subjects could be an obstacle of changing their careers. Many students’ careers are changed in school days, so if they do not have learned comprehensive knowledge, they would have a lot of difficulties in changing their dream. This is because they should study from the first for their altered career. Even in the university, some students change their major because they realized their choice was wrong. In this case, if they have only specific knowledge, they could not make a decision properly to alter their major in spite of their realization. Therefore, I am opposed to teach specific careers and jobs instead of general subjects.
Secondly, foundation knowledge dealt by general subjects is not just mere knowledge. I believe that the object of learning mathematics is not being practiced in calculating the radius of circles or the angle of triangles, but developing the ability to think rationally. Also, we could get critical thinking in language classes by understanding and analyzing other people’s written works. In other words, we can improve our basic thinking skills when we study general subjects. This would make students learn their duties in work places more easily and effectively because they have been trained enough to learn new things. In that in work places, they could not be instructed with general subjects, I claim that schools ought to teach students the subjects.
To sum up, if you learn about specific career or jobs instead of general subjects, you don’t have to suffer from your dislikable subjects such as languages and geography; however, in that learning general subjects could improve ability to think and make the base of various fields, schools should teach general subjects.
