IT HAS BECOME A STANDARD PART OF SCHOOL OF CURRICULA IN MOST SECONDARY SCHOOL. IT COULD BE DANGER THAT IT SKILLS ARE BEING TAUGHT AT EXPENSE OF MORE BASIC SKILLS. DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE?

In most schools, curricula have evolved into

technology

-oriented and basic subjects are being deleted which could be detrimental to

essay I will explain why I believe that teaching more hours of IT subjects could be detrimental to

students

. I agree with Information

Technology

(IT) subject could be a threat for others courses oriented to art or science, because there is more to quality education than using computers to study. It is well known that

technology

makes people´s lives easier,

however

,

this

has led us to do less mental and physical effort which in turn may lead us to lose many

skills

.

For example

,

skills

such

as writing poems, painting, or playing a musical instrument could disappear along the time. Today, we know that

technology

is highly beneficial for everyone in the world ,

because children need to develop other important

skills

. If the curricula evolve into

technology

-oriented, we could have a society without writers, artists, musicians or painters, so our humanity could be lost.

On the other hand

, the misuse of

technology

can lead to severe addiction in youngsters, and they end up becoming dependent on it.

This

happens because children do not know how to tell right from wrong. The more hours they spend on the devices, the more social

skills

they lose.

For instance

, there are many

students

focused on the computer, without going out, talking or even playing games outside with friends.

Hence

, IT should be taught carefully in primary school, and teachers should show video clips to raise awareness about the negative consequences of using computers for long hours in children.

Finally

, I strongly believe

that is

of the utmost importance to keep other subjects in the curricula

such

as art or agriculture that could help

students

to develop friendship ties, listening and talking to others which make us strong human beings. In conclusion,

although

schools are becoming

technology

-oriented, they should focus on basic

skills

. I am of the idea that basic

skills

are worth it, and

this

will strengthen our society.
