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?

young
people
to have good
school
results in academic
subjects
. It is difficult for young
people
to get to university and to find work after education. So some
people
think that non-academic
subjects
are not as good for
children
to learn at
school
and they should only do academic
subjects
. I disagree with
this
statement and think non-academic
subjects
are
also
good for learning and developing
children
.
Firstly
I think that
school
is not only a place for learning academic
subjects
and that other
subjects
can be very useful at
school
.
For example
, when
children
learn physical education it is not only academic learning but
also
other things.
Also
,
children
can learn how can they be in good health and
this
is important for their life. Because many
people
have obesity and
this
is not a good situation. If
children
learn physical education they would not have obesity as much.
Secondly
, I think that it is useful for
school
for teaching other things at
school
like cookery. I think that
this
is a good skill for
people
to learn for their health and
also
there are many jobs with cookery.
For example
, maybe you can open a restaurant or have different cooking work.
Therefore
this
is a good situation for some
children
and is good for learning non-academic
subjects
. In conclusion, I think that
children
can learn academic and non-academic
subjects
and
school
and
this
is the best thing for
children
.
however
, maybe there can be after-
school
lessons or clubs for
children
to learn skills and teachings that are non-academic and be more academic during
school
time.
