A thought of school holds that it is necessary for schools to give secondary school students and high school students rights in choosing academic courses or practical courses leading to their own future. From my observation, I strongly believe that this is certainly a good idea.
There are several reasons why some people agree with that idea. This is mainly because it helps the education environment decrease pressure in studying. Children have diverse hobbies, and especially the difference of academic performance. Despite being at the same age, not all of them are fascinated with academic subjects that require deep thinking such as Maths, Physics or Literature. As a result, if schools allow students to choose courses by themselves, it will be able for them to steer clear of time wasting and saving money. For example, a student who is interested in singing can spend more time practicing musical skills to pursue a future career in the entertainment industry.
Granted, one might say that children are too young so that they don’t have enough ability to select suitable academic or practical courses. They should be required to take part in compulsory subjects involving science and art classes, which lead them to explore their weakness and strongness. Not only does it help them develop better in physical and mental health, but also the youngsters can extend higher levels of intellectual capacities.
In conclusion, while compulsory subjects still play a role in children’s basic development, allowing students to choose their own courses offers great benefits. By doing this, the younger generation can reduce academic stress and build more actual opportunities for their future.
