Some people think children should learn to paint and draw at school. Others believe it is just a waste of time. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

People’s opinions differ as to whether pupils should be taught how to

paint

and draw pictures at schools. While there are certain benefits

should be a mandatory course for all children. There are various reasons why people believe that pupils should learn

paint

and draw pictures during their school lives.

Firstly

, it might be the reason that learning the skill to

paint

could become a hobby for children, so they could benefit from

in the rest of their lives.

For example

, permissive parents are criticised to allow their children to play computer games for a long time, which is harmful for their health

such

as the common eyesight problem among young people. Children with a hobby like painting and drawing will undoubtedly help them spend their spare time in a more meaningful way, where they can draw different pictures and sell them, raising money for charities.

As a result

this

will have a positive effect on them. In spite of the benefits mentioned above, I think that it is totally unnecessary for all children to attend these classes. Painting and drawing lessons for children who are not interested in them could be detrimental in their self-development where they would feel that they were forced, leading to
