It has been over centuries
,
Remove the comma

show examples
 since the
first
 school has been built. Some
subjects
 from the old era have left in the present
such
 as
mathematics
,
philosophy
, science, and some have recently emerged in the latter-day
such
 as new languages
subjects
, or gaming
subjects
. So, it is undeniable that
this
 made some say that if
children
 find that
mathematics
 and
philosophy
 are too hard for them to
study
, they do not have to
study
 them. The following paragraph will be discussing my perspective.
Therefore
, the conclusion has been reached.
To begin
 with, from my perspective, I entirely agree with the idea that
children
 should not
study
mathematics
 and
philosophy
 in intense topics.
For example
, in
mathematics
, we should not provide deeper topics for
children
 that do not have an interest in
mathematics
 or want to be in faculties that require
mathematics
 skills because it might be wasting of time to encourage them to
study
 things that they do not like. if they know how to calculate simple things in daily life that should be enough for them.
Moreover
, I believe that in the present,
philosophy
 is not the same as in the old era, and it is hard to accept that
this
 subject, we do not use in our daily life now due to many reasons unlike in the past.
In addition
,
philosophy
 is not the
first
 priority module that
children
 want to
study
 because their topics might be too boring for them or it is hard to understand due to the present society compared to the old society. In summary, I believe that both
subjects
 should be optional modules because of the latter and former reasons.
However
, I do believe that if both
subjects
 provide only a simple topic
that is
 a basic knowledge of a human, it should be fine for
children
 to
study
.
