High school should allow students to study the courses that students want to study. Specify reasons and example to support your opinion.
There are opinions that students who are in high school take more courses in the relevant subject. I personally believe that attendant to extra courses make a person more active and well-prepared.
Extra-courses make a person well prepared while rare puppets do it while they are taking high school. It can be several reasons why students should take extra courses while they are in needs. Firstly, they are on the point of graduation the University; they should be extremely hard working on their studies to pass the university entrance exams. Secondly, high school is a great and a unique chance for every single student to well-prepared for the next terms. Thirdly, a well prepared will be helped to have a high rank in university department where she/he wants to get in for four year diploma.
On the other hand, taking more course cause self-confidence for the individuals and as well as for studies ahead. I believe that more courses will be effective for the following studies due to a person has at least a general scamming or scanning, or even knowing any formula or any details of the lesson formulas.
Eventually, I strongly hint to any students who are already in high school or who are attempting to high school to join extra-courses in order to have a smooth transition from high school to a university with a great eligibility and powerfully.
