So this is a pretty controversial topic for me, because from one side, you can tell that we should focus on the strongest part of the student and those part that he or she is really interested in. But I think it’s really hard to tell what is the strongest part if we did not try other fields. So, I think in primary school, in middle school, teachers should focus on both sides. And then, uh, in those years in primary and middle school, they have an opportunity, a good opportunity, to take classes that they’re really interested in and passionate about. Um, so in high school, students, students, um, have an option to try something that they want to study, um, that they can know, relate with their future major in university, and maybe a future job as well. Um, because in high school, I think students are more.

So this is a pretty controversial topic for me because, on one side, you can argue that we should focus on the strongest part of the student and those areas that he or she is really interested in. But I think it's really hard to determine what the strongest part is if we do not try other fields. So, I think in primary school and middle school, teachers should focus on both sides. In those years, students have a good opportunity to take classes that they are really interested in and passionate about. In high school, students have the option to try something that they want to study, which can relate to their future major in university and maybe a future job as well. I believe that in high school, students are more prepared to make these choices.
