The period of high schools is very important. Not just because it is the last course of study before going to universities, but because high school students will be about to jump into a real world. To prepare for getting used to the world, I strongly agree with the statement.
First of all, students can focus on the subjects that will prepare them for future careers. For example, if you want to be a doctor, you would take many science courses. That is, you could become more familiar and knowledgeable about the field of the study. This is why I want high schools to let students study what they are interested in.
Besides, students will be more open to learning when they can choose their own classes. It is obvious that taking classes you want than taking requirements is being more productive and is making students more enthusiastic. As I mentioned above, it is clear and simple. Ask yourself. If you have to take a history class you actually hate and you have no choice but to take. Do you think it will be fine when you take it? Absolutely not. Lectures must be horrible for you. As you can notice here, no matter how many lectures you take, it is not worth if there is none you are interested in.
To sum up, everyone may have a different view on this. Yet, I firmly believe that letting students study what they actually want is far more suitable in these days and is making students prepare for their future careers more efficiently. As we all know, the world is changing much faster than we expected. Therefore, students should be ones for what the world needs, which are specialized in a specific field. Again, that is why schools should allow students to study the courses they are interested in.
