Nowadays there is many pressures for young people to have good school result in academic subjects. It is difficult for young people to get to university and for finding work after eductions. So some people think that non academic subject are not as good for children to be learn at school and they should only do academic subjects. I disagree with this statement and think non academic subjects are also good for learning and developing children.
Firstly I think that school is not only a place for learning academic subjects and that other subjects can be very useful at school. For example, when children learn physic education it is not only academical learning but also other things. Also children can learn how can they be good health and this is important for their life. Because many people have obesity and this is not a good situation. If children learn physical education they would not have obesity as much.
Secondly I think that it is useful for school for teaching other things at school like cookery. I think that this is a good skill for people to learn for the health and also there are many jobs with cookery. For example, maybe you can open a restaurant or have difference cooking work. Therefore this is a good situation for some children and is good to learn non academic subjects.
In conclusion I think that children can learn academic and non academic subjects and school and this is the best thing for children. however, maybe there can be after school lessons or clubs for children to learn skills and teachings that are non academic and be more academic in school time.
