Some people think that because some children find some subject such as mathematics and philosophy difficult, they ought to be optional instead of compulsory. To what extent do you agree?

It seems that some people believe that because some subjects like

mathematics

and

philosophy

are difficult they must be optional for

children

, rather than obligatory. I disagree with

this

idea and I consider that these subjects must be compulsory for every child because it helps them to develop and become an adult and are necessary for life. On the one hand, subjects

such

as

mathematics

and

philosophy

help

children

to develop their skills and prepare for life. They are important because are used in everyday activities on different occasions.

For example

,

mathematics

is used to calculate money or for work in different sectors and

philosophy

to speak and express themselves better. If every child learns about them in schools,later on in their lives will be easier for them to express themselves and develop careers.

On the other hand

, if a child does not like

this

subject he needs to learn the importance of it and be encouraged to learn because of the benefits. Sometimes because some

children

are spoiled they tend to say do not like something at school only to have more to play

however

parents and teachers must be more involved in

children

's lives and encourage them to be involved in these courses.

As a result

of participating in these ,courses they will be able to calculate and have better jobs and express their opinion

while

others who do not attend struggle in their life and find it more difficult to find jobs and speak clearly their opinions. In conclusion, I believe it is important for

children

to learn about

mathematics

and

philosophy

and these courses must be compulsatory in schools. The benefits of learning them will be seen when they will be adults.
