It is believed that not until pupils are at least 18 years old, are they compelled to engage in a full-time schooling. Personally, while I protest this idea due to pressure and potential mental health risks brought about, I rest on its significant benefits provided, such as self development and capacity showcase.
With regards to the drawbacks, it is undeniable that spending full time on studying at school until reaching the age of 18 is harsh for students to struggle with its hurdles. Firstly, the need for time allocation to school is highly mandated, thereby reducing time for their personal development. Obviously, a full-time study program requires them to comprehensively understand significant academic knowledge, which students have to invest their time in researching and reasoning. In this way, they have limited time to spend on their preferable activities and other practical skills. In addition to this problem, the risks of their mental well-being such as burnout and peer pressure also appear during study time as not only do they struggle with a huge amount of knowledge, but they also compete with other students in their course. Explicitly, in the educational environment, some of them have an admirable capacity, attaining many study goals, which puts strain on the others. Consequently, they have to strive to catch up with their mates and may encounter failures, resulting in stress and burnout.
However, despite its challenges presented, a full-time schooling enables students to enrich their knowledge and develop themselves in such a competitive condition. Firstly, in an educational environment, they have an idealistic nature to approach academic subjects which facilitates them in their future careers. This curricula is conducive for them to maximize the opportunities to deeply comprehend significant fields. If they confront hurdles during their period of research, they can question teachers, leading to a progressively knowledgeable growth. Secondly, competing with others constitutes an effective way to foster their ability. By trying their best and never giving up, they will relentlessly enhance themselves to outplay others. Additionally, in the competition, the nature of competing will emerge, which motivates them to practice, broaden their horizon and show off themselves. Consequently, pupils not only improve their understanding but they also have chances to study and compete with their capable mates.
In conclusion, although a compulsory full-time study at school forces students to suffer mental health risks, it creates opportunities for them to nurture their capacity and develop themselves in a favorable condition. Yet, I personally believe that the implementation of this idea should strike a balance between studying and relaxing to accomplish the greatest result.
