Some parents believe that learning mathematics is redundant and should not be taught while others believe that it should remain a foundational subject whether or not it is used in later life. Discuss both sides.
Parents of every child are always keen on giving the best possible education for them. Many of them believe that the school should include
mathematics
as a key subject in the syllabus while
some oppose it. Both of these viewpoints will be examined in this
essay.
First of all, irrespective of the olden days, today career opportunities have flourished a lot. Surely, an aspirant can prosper in a number of fields, based on his interest, where mathematics
is not at all desired. For example
, for being a successful cricketer only their ability to score in the match is counted and mathematics
has no role in it. Additionally
, forcing a child to study an uninvolved subject just for the sake of others cannot be appreciated. Hence
, we can say that mathematics
-free academics also
do no harm to us.
On the other hand
, antagonists argue that a person who wasn't taught basic mathematics
finds it difficult to properly handle even daily transactions and can be easily fooled by others. Additionally
, in this
digital world, everything is online and unmindful dealings result in heavy losses. For instance
, if one needs to purchase something they have to look through discounts, offers etc and a maths ignorant can be fooled by a skilful seller. In this
point of view, mathematics
being
taught as a priority subject in schools can be justified.
Change the form of the verb
is
To conclude
, a child can definitely prosper in their career with or without algebra. In future, we can expect a number of educational institutions, who may treat the chapters of mathematics
in their academics differently, so that the parents can choose appropriately among them.Submitted by devika.mohanan on
