Some people believe that History should not be taught as a subject anymore because it is already old and outdated. Others think that is should still be kept. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Although

it has been suggested that teachers ought not to pass on any historical information to students at school owing to its historic and ancient, other people argue that

history

also

should be a

subject

nowadays. I agree with the

second

idea as learning

history

is beneficial for a student’s learning efficiency and effectiveness. On the one hand, some people who present that educated workers should not look at

history

as a

subject

believe that spending

time

teaching

history

wastes precious

time

and resources. The reason is that all contents which are documented in

history

are past things

such

as past generations’ behaviours and thoughts, which is no longer useful and no meaning in current life.

For instance

, individuals who are learning at school are told that how their ancestors discovered plants or created telephones. That information is disconnected from our current situations,

thus

learning that ridiculous knowledge is a waste of their

time

and energies.

On the other hand

, some individuals, including me, say being taught

history

is a good way to increase learners’ academic performance.

This

is because some subjects like biology are extremely complex and tedious, if students spend a great deal of their

time

on those subjects, their concentrations and enthusiasms for learning would be reduced,

thus

impairing their efficiency.

By contrast

, their mind will take a break and become more refreshed when they are studying

history

. As an illustration,

history

is a compulsory

subject

in china since secondary school. Most Chinese pupils are convinced that having a

history

class provides them with a good chance to escape from excessively difficult projects, which gives them a period of

time

to have a rest,

thus

contributing to their comprehension of other knowledge. In conclusion,

although

people vary in their opinions about whether

history

should be given up as a

subject

or not, I am of the opinion that students still need to learn

history

as it has a massive upside on their academia.
