High school student should be allowed to choose which subjects they will study |
In today's education system, almost all students in high school have no freedom to choose which subject they will study. That is, every subjects they learn from the school are already determined by the education system of a country regardless of each student's capabillity and favor. This kinds of education has its own advantages and disadvantages, but I firmly believe that student should be able to choose which subjects they will learn because it enhances students' interests in study and provide them with more deeper understandings and accompishments. One advantage of this subject-choosing system is that they can keep, or even increase, students' interest in study in high school. The reason is that because students can concentrate their study on subjects they love and perform well. For the instance, let assume that there is a student who has outstanding talent in literature but is really poor at other subjects. In conventional education system, this student may be forced to spend a lot of time on doing subject he don't like, which decrease his/her overall interest in study and, in result, obstruct the development of his/her intrinsic talent. Additionally, students can attain more deeper level of understanding on certain subjects by focusing their time and efforts. There is no question that students who invest more time and efforts on their favorite subjects can achieve more fruits than who study everything, even including subjects they hate. Recent studies have indicated that groups of students who took classes in which they have interest have marked nealy thirty percent higher test score than those who took determined subjects. In conclusion, students can keep their passion to the study by choosing what to learn and study. furthermore this allow stuents to develop thier own talents by concentrated study. For all these reasons, I wholeheartedly agree with the opinion that students in high school should be able to choose their subjects to learn. |
