Some individuals claim that having a small farm for a school should be beneficial as it can help teach students about agricultural knowledge as well as other subjects. Personally, I partly agree with this suggestion based on some reasons that are explained in this essay.
There are some clear benefits when schools have their own farms for the teaching of agriculture and other subjects. Nowadays, most children do not know how food is grown and harvested due to urbanization and the modern way of living. As a result, having a farm connected with their school can help them gain important knowledge about how crops grow and how livestock is raised. This can improve their general knowledge, help them appreciate their food more, and equip them with more survival skills.
Despite the idealistic nature of having a farm attached with a school, it would not be practical, especially in the current conditions. Setting up a farm, regardless of its size, requires a lot of human resources and efforts to maintain. This would eventually increase the cost of education, putting more pressure on parents and schools. Additionally, even a small area of land in urban areas would cost a lot of money, and having it universally in all schools would not be financially practical.
In conclusion, although there are mixed opinions on determining whether each school should have a small and designated area for agricultural education or the teaching of other subjects, I believe that it should be done, but only selectively. Specifically, schools should share land together, and also may need to take into account the financial burden that parents must bear.
