There is a lot of pressure on young people today to succeed academically. As a result, some people believe that non-academic subjects, such as physical education and cookery, should be removed from the school syllabus so that children can concentrate on academic work. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays,
youths
experience a lot of pressure in order to achieve academic success. Having taken other considerations, I agree with the idea of removing non-academic related materials from school
curriculums to lighten up young students’ study load.
Firstly
, the more subjects
that youths
learn in school
, the longer teenage students should stay in school
. Long school
period means that they have a lack of time to spend outside of the educational institution, which potentially affects their personal development since they are not able to explore the outside world. By discovering the world, they could find fresh activities
and by doing those activities
, they could maintain their mental health and relieve tension caused by academic expectations, which would allow them to gain more concentration while
studying. As an example, they can find some leisure activities
that happen to be their coping mechanisms when they feel too much pressure. When they are able to control their stress, they become calmer and more focused, which enables them to have better academic performances. Furthermore
, long periods of school
might make them tired. This
circumstance makes the learning activities
ineffective since they are unable to concentrate.
Secondly
, extracurricular subjects
should not be included in the school
syllabus, yet they shall be optional materials that the young students can choose based on their interests. These kinds of subjects
are supposed to be taught outside of the study period. To illustrate, if the academy finishes at 2 pm, then
the cookery or other non-academic activities
should be taught at 3 pm. Also
, these should not affect their grades since the purpose of extracurricular activities
is for entertainment and hobbies purposes. Hence
, youths
could experience school
-life balance. By having a balanced life, the children's sense of learning is increasing, which allows them to pay more attention to their academic life.
To sum up
, eliminating non-academic subjects
could provide youths
with more time to explore the world and maintain the school
-life balance. I, therefore
, remain firmly convinced that removing extracurriculars could boost children's motivation to study, which will result in better grades.Submitted by someonewhodwells on
