Many students find it difficult to learn subjects like mathematics and philosophy and hence they should be optional in schools. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Nowadays, education has always been a topic of debate among parents as well as teachers. Many students find subjects like mathematics and philosophy difficult to learn. While some argue that these

are of utmost importance and should be compulsory, others say it should be optional. I personally agree with the latter side of

there should not be any

or preference. Even though few find topics like philosophy and history difficult to understand, they argue that it will help children understand others, appreciate them and get to know what our past is so that they can learn from it and avoid the same mistakes.

of the opinion that everyone, including children, ought to have a

and it should be respected and I completely agree with

this

. It is high time we should realise the fact that every individual is different and scoring high marks in examination is not the correct criteria to judge someone's ability.

Besides

, there is no need to force students to learn everything under the sun.

For instance

, due to technological advancements, majority of computational tasks are done by computers and high end calculators.

Hence

, it is not mandatory to learn mathematics if someone is finding it difficult. Some will be interested in philosophy, while some in

the arts

Therefore

instead

of forcing kids, they should follow their heart. To conclude, it has always been a practice and believe that schools should teach everything. In my opinion, what one should learn have to be their

choice

based on their interest and no subject should be made a mandate for studies.
