『范文』

High school is a very important time in a person's educational career. During this period, they will learn many

of the skills necessary to be successful in university and the work world. There are both advantages and

disadvantages of students picking their own courses in high school. The disadvantages are that high school

students are too young to have good judgment about what they really require and also, it's very important for a

young person to get a rounded education. The advantage of adolescents picking their own courses is that people

should be able to start exploring their aptitudes at a young age.

If children are able to pick all of their own courses in high school, it is more than likely that they will pick all

"easy" courses, such as arts or music courses. Children do not necessarily know what is best for them, and

therefore, could end up lacking later in life because of the poor, uninformed decisions they made as adolescents.

Young people need a well-rounded, balanced education. A good education should include everything from

languages to mathematics to science, etc. Many children would avoid their most disliked courses if given the

opportunity. A well-rounded education leads to well-balanced people, which in turn leads to a tolerant,

knowledgeable society. It is important to have a wide basis of knowledge concerning how the world works.

As mentioned above, there is also an advantage of allowing children to pick their own courses in high school.

Picking one's own courses means that one will be able to focus on subject areas that are particularly interesting to

the individual. Adolescents should be able to hone in on their likes and dislikes at a young age, as this will give them

a better understanding of where their aptitude lies.

In conclusion, I think that students in high school should be able to choose some of their own courses. There

should definitely be a required curriculum, but it should leave room for students to take electives that they are

truly interested in.
