Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? High schools should allow students to study the courses that students want to study. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A decision of choosing courses and subjects is choosing a career. Said decision is very crucial and vitally important. It is always recommended that such crucial decisions be taken by the mature people like parents, guardians or teachers for that matter and not the students,
A recurring problem in most societies is that students in general do not opt for little harder subjects like mathematics and science. Although there is high availability of lucrative and well-paid jobs in fields that demand mathematics and science. Such jobs are engineering, statistics, teaching and technology. Students see science and mathematics as hard subjects and do not respond to motivational factors such as easier admission to higher education or interesting and important work. I feel we need to be much more direct in our attempts to get students to learn hard sciences in general and mathematics in particular in high school for a brighter career.
In general subjects of science and mathematics make the learner smarter; he or she can make more money. One gets easy admission to college for higher studies. Because we live in a global world that is subjected to constant changes, those subjects are paramount importance. Students with science and mathematics find no doors closed wherever they go. Also science and mathematics are interesting subjects. With those creative subjects one does not only get through into college but in all walks of life.
In nutshell, I feel choosing the subjects at the school level must be properly guided and intervened by the parents, guardians and teachers in the larger interest of the students career and must not be left at the sweet will of the high school students.
