Some people say that children who find subjects such as mathematics and philosophy difficult do not have to study them at school. These subjects should be optional, not compulsory. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people think that subjects like

mathematics

and

philosophy

should not be obligatory at school, because they seem to be hard to be learnt by some

children

.

However

, I totally disagree with

this

belief.

First

and foremost,

mathematics

helps

children

to have more job opportunities in the future.

Mathematics

is the science of data analysis and solving complicated numeral issues which are the basis of any other skills. The more young generation have useful skills, the better work opportunities they may have. In

this

new age of technology,

for example

, knowing programming languages

such

as C++ and python could bring a great promotion for young adults at work. But if they do not know

mathematics

it is impossible for them to work with these kinds of software.

Furthermore

,

philosophy

is the science that increases the quality of people’s lives. By learning

philosophy

children

will learn the meaning of life, deal with hard spiritual circumstances and struggle with losses in their life. Since any individual may have to face these issues and questions someday in their lifetime,

this

subject should not be optional at school but should be compulsory. Some may argue that forcing students to study fields which they do not want to, is

in contrast

with human freedom of choice,

however

, I think teachers should try their best to make these subjects more attractive and use innovative methods of teaching, so

children

have better feelings toward these difficult lessons since they are necessary and conducive for their future. To sum up, I think hard fields like

mathematics

and

philosophy

should not only be taught at schools but

also

be compulsory for students to pass them due to their benefits for their forthcoming life.
