Education is an important part of the social system since it prepares us for life yet not everything we learn is actually relevant to our occupation. I understand that the subjects we learn are usually all important yet if you are not going to major in anything math related then going pass algebra 1 is really not needed. Taking all these history classes does not seem relevant either unless someone wants to get into a political occupation when they get older. I know we must have some background in the nation’s government system and we must know a bit about U.S history but going on to learn more will not help the people that want to pursue something in the field of science. I believe if students already know what they want to pursue at a young age they should take extra classes on that subject. For example if a student wants to major in science that person should be able to take an extra science course instead of a history course.
This would definitely be great. Yet if this was our system what would happen if after high school you suddenly realize that you are tired of science and dislike it, and think being a politician is the right career for you. How would you pursue that job if you know nothing of our history? How would this system deal with issues such as that?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good idea and I wish it was like this sometimes too. However, many students don't know what kind of career they want to pursue after High School. Taking all these courses help students prepare and figure out what they're most passionate about. Also, as Alaya was saying, many people change their major once they get into college because they find out that they're not as passionate as they thought they were about the subject. High School helps guide you into figuring out what you're passionate about so that we can further our knowledge later on.
