Some people may argue that studying art and music in secondary school is necessary for students because it provides broaden-perspectives and sensitive to them. Nevertheless, I firmly argue that not all students have to study art and music in high school. This is because students who dislike those classes may waste their time. In addition, art and music are not enough to relate their real life.
To begin with, taking a course in art or music is not indispensable class to students who do not interested in art and music. This is because students who prepare for an entrance examination except to art and music major waste their limited time due to attending music or art class. They want to concentrate on the class which is imperative to their entrance examination. For instance, when I was high school student, I had dissatisfaction with obligation to attend art class. To study mathematics and language, I had little time. Therefore, I could not concentrate on the art class and I did not remember what a teacher says. Finally, there were not left knowledge to me. As a result, art and music class must be required only students who want to participate in those classes.
Furthermore, students do not relate in art and music in their real lives directly, exception the person who major in that. That is, these are useless classes to students who dislike them for their future. As a result, high school should give a chance to all students whether they attend art and music class. In my case, I never took advantage of knowledge or skill which I had learned in secondary school when I entered university. Because my major is French, I mere focus on study French literal and language. If a student participates in quiz show on television later, he or she would avail knowledge of music or art. Except in this case, usefulness of art and music that were learned in high school is rare to most of students. In a nutshell, if students do not want to take art and music class, high school should not give compulsory requirement to students. I allegedly argue that art and music course should be selective subject in high school. |
