Band 6

Schools concentrate for too much on traditional subjects which do not adequately prepare students for the realistic demands of the modern working world. To what extent do you agree or disagree?.

There is no secret that
school
 has a significant role in pupils' future. It is a widely held view that the topics which are taught in
school
 are too old to prepare children for the modern lifestyle , a theory which I strongly disapprove of. One justification why eliminating traditional subjects would not be fruitful may be that they play an important role in understanding more advanced subjects.
For example
, the action of number multiply was a substantial topic ,
however
Add a comma
however,
show examples
 in today's climate, an overwhelming amount of people use calculators to do their math. But it does not mean that learning to multiply is useless
,
Remove the comma
apply
show examples
 since it is a fundamental knowledge which can even be used in buying grocery Another explanation is that children should learn basic sciences in order to understand top-notch ones.
In other words
, there is no fast track to be learned. An illustration of
this
 fact is that in
school
 we learn how to draw plans with a ruler on paper,
while
 in real life using engineering software like AutoCAD is more common and easier. The aim of teaching the hard way in
school
 is at the first step pupils should know the fundamentals of drawing and
the next step is
 to learn how to implement software. What can be concluded from the above is that I find myself among critics of the opinion which said that some of the subjects that we learn in
school
 are too basic which is not suitable for the modern world.
