Some people think that because some children find some subjects such as mathematics and philosophy difficult they ought to be optional instead of compulsory. To what extent do you agree?

It is thought by many people that subjects which are difficult to study by children should be made optional

instead

of being mandatory. I disagree with

this

statement because making certain

subjects optional

Accept comma addition

subjects, optional

will lead to decline in overall knowledge of children, increase in depression and hamper the society.

First

of all, if certain subjects are made optional

then

children will opt for subjects which they find easy to score, irrespective of the benefit that the subject provides in their life. At present, because the subjects are compulsory, children learn the basics of all areas

such

as maths, science, arts and so on. Being aware of all the areas, children are more equipped to select their majors and

then

career path.

Secondly

, if subjects were made optional, children will be inclined to study subjects which are easy to learn so that they can avoid the hardships of learning.

This

way they will never go through the difficult process of learning. They will develop a habit of achieving goals in life, choosing the easier options which will be harmful in a long run. In future, if children do not achieve their goals,

then

they will feel depressed.

Finally

, for an overall development of a child, research show that all the basic subjects should be compulsory. Post the higher school, children are aware of subject they are inclined to, and they can make a wise decision of choosing their major. In conclusion, keeping certain subjects, optional would hamper the overall development of the child and would hamper the society in a long run.
