Many high school students are not satisfied about their school policy, especially in Korea since students do not have any choices to pick their favorable subjects.(As far as I know, they can have some choices; it doesn't matter~) So some people argue that school are supposed to offer high school students the right to choose their own subjects, in opposition to my opinion that learning things by following curriculum is more beneficial for students due to the fact that specified curriculum from school give lecturer about variety of knowledges to students(???) and helps them to decide their career and major in thier life.(too long, complicated.... need to be clarified...)
First of all, it is not too late for students to decide their own favorite majors when they attend university since they are likely to learn deep and professional matters. In this sense, learning common sense and wide range of background knowledge in their high school life is more beneficial and essential for students since these steps will dedicate(vt. ... so object needed, or to make a passive; be dedicated) for them to have good communications and establish great bonds with people in society, making their basement stronger.(->wel...isn't it too much??) For instance, music teacher in my high school always tries to give us lectures about basic informations of music and ways to appreciate classics because he knows that it is significant to know about fundamental parts of music. He considered basic knowledge indispensible element for having great social life, which he is already involved.??
Secondly, by taking a variety of courses, students get to experiences many kinds of fields of studying such as engineering, history, physics and social study, which are helping to decide their majors and career in the future. Going through many subjects gives rist? risk? for students to have deeper and wider insights about subjects, not mentioning about their interests. So students are at take advantage of determining their professional job career easier since they compared aspects of every subjects and can find suitable subject for them. Once, I was the a person with no future dream, very poor at studying and establishing my life plan. But after taking history class which was an essential course but interesting, helped me to find my future job, a diplomat. By learning history of our country, particulary about the time koreans were ruled by Japan, I felt angry and soon realized how important it was to keep peace of my own counrty and even the world. That was why I decided to be a diplomat, helping people with diplomatic difficulties and negotiateing with other countries to maintain peace. Without the history class, I will be still a person with no dream.
To summerize, taking a variety of courses in high school life encourages students to have a wide range of background knowledge which helps them to have better social life.(actually, this point does not seem persuadable...) In addition, It also gives opportunity for them to seek for their future career, the most significant decision of people's life. In this sense, I firmly believe that students should not be allowed to pick their own subjects.
