Nowadays, some people believe that schools need to be prioritize academic lessons, while others argue that music and sports should not be implemented as a subject. , this essay will explain further based on my view and I strongly oppose the view that music and sport can be used as motivating learning subjects by the students.
On the one hand, music and sports can positively help to increase the students’ soft skills. Despite the importance of academic subjects, enrolling in songs and physical activities also contribute to the students’ development of talent and confidence. Moreover, these facilities should be provided by the school as a form to fulfill students talents. Taking Japan as an example, from primary to high school, neither music or sports lesson must be taken by the pupils, which one of the various ways to improve and enhance their soft skills.
On the other hand, looking through the students’ perspective, several students are motivated and spirited from arts and sports events, which they can show off their performance.Therefore, The students who likely to choose music and sports are often excited to showcase their talent to their friends, which motivated them to practice harder. In addition, some of them also have more potential in a certain field, which is unreasonable to force them on academic subjects. In Indonesia, all of the schools have their own music showcase and sports competition every year.
Overall, I strongly disagree that music and sports should be removed from the academic lesson, thus its provide beneficial support for their soft skills and also one to increase their motivation.
