17.Some people think secondary school students and high school students should be allowed to choose academic courses leading to university or practical courses leading to careers such as carpenters. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It has been suggested by many that after high school,
students
have the opportunity to choose the courses
they want to study, such
as academic courses
or practical courses
. In fact, this
is how the most widely used education system in the world works. I partly agree with this
statement.
On the one hand, once a student chooses a path, he may decide how a person will enter society in the future
. But here comes the question, whether students
around the age of 18 have enough maturity to decide their own future
at that time
. For example
, a student who gets tired of studying starts carpentry, which they might find interesting at first. After a long time
, they began to feel bored and found that their income was relatively lower than other professions such
as doctors. Overall
, we can see that if teens make decisions without thinking about the consequences, they may end up regretting them.
On the other hand
, the education system insists that future
generations go to college and choose what to do after graduation, which wastes their precious time
. Practical courses
such
as papermaking need time
to build popularity, and they also
need to be studied until they are fully mastered. For example
, a descendant who is very interested in inheriting traditional crafting skills needs to waste four years in college, which ends up wasting time
and money in vain. All in all, if students
have the freedom to choose, they have the opportunity to pursue their dreams without wasting time
taking academic courses
they don't need.
In conclusion, I recognize that students
should have the opportunity to determine their own future
. But the consequences of regret after a few years are too severe to ruin the younger generation. To avoid this
, I still believe that students
should go on an academic journey to gain common sense before entering the industry, as this
minimizes the chances of getting frustrated with their own lives.Submitted by 2083749065 on
