Choosing Your Own Electives

Should elementary students switch classes? Most teachers cam teachers can teach all subjects but they are better at one subject then all the rest. This is why students should switch classes then the teacher that is the best at that subject could teach that and that only.

Some people believe students should be required to take a music, a drama, or an art class. This requirement could prove problematic for many students. Students would be unable to take necessary classes before college. The classes should be electives because some people may want to take more advanced classes, some people do not have talents in the arts and if students are forced to take the classes, they may not focus as much.

In conclusion, they all have opinions about whether or not we should have school electives or not. Schools being able to have electives is a huge privilege for students. This will really improve on your child's behavior. Them being involved in an extracurricular, will be impressive to them.Schools should reconsider having school electives because it will raise their interest,expand opportunities, and improve their grades and test

The first reason there should be electives is, so students get to select their classes. When there are electives, students will get a say in what class they want to take but there is more to it than that. Electives get students ready for making choices later in life. It teaches students to make

Yet, it can be contended that middle schools that offer electives since there is no funding. D. A. Dr. Russell the author of Cancelling High School Electives, Arts, and Music-So Many Reasons, So Many Lies says, “But the real reason was the funding has nothing to do with the cancellation- no matter what funding was available, there was no room in the curricula for thees course anymore.” Nevertheless, middle schools should be allowed to offer electives to students since it gives students to relax from all of school work and having fun doing an elective that they really

I will disagree with those people because, students shouldn't take those classes unless they want to. If they don't, they're going to have a hard time in that specific class. If they're put in art class for example, most of those students either won't like the class, or just don't know how to draw. If students want those classes, they should choose it as one of their electives for the following year. Students should not be required to take music, drama, or art class unless they feel comfortable in it and will like it. There could be a student who wants to be an engineer, and is in a drama class, that makes that student look awkward because, everything he sees, he'll use his imagination and make it have to do something with engines.

The main courses that we are taught throughout elementary and high school are English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. While those subjects are important, not everyone will use those studies throughout their lifetime, whereas if they taught subjects like balancing a checkbook, how to fill out job applications and write a resume, how to do an interview, first aid, and so many other skills, everyone would carry that with them and find that information useful after they get out of high school.

Many high schools have requirements for students about what classes they need to take in order to graduate. Some students have a little bit of say in what they get to take but there are a lot that do not. Classes are not picked based off of interest,

Once said by Anonymous “happiness is finishing exams.” This is relavant for the reason some people struggle with exams. I think exams should be optionable depending on your career you plan on taking. The first reason is that kids can stress out during the exams. The second reason is that not everyone is going to need them for the career they choose. Third, does the kid want to go to college or does his job need him to go to college.

Alyssa Pracz, a journalist at Northern Star, makes the point that “[p]rofessors, however, tend to teach the material as if everyone taking the class is planning on majoring in the subject” when, in reality, students just see the class as another general education course. Additionally, students struggle in some of the subjects which have nothing to do with their particular majors. Pracz also states, “As a result, many students' grades suffer, sometimes to the point of lowering their grade point averages so much that they are unable to get into the major they planned on pursuing”. Ultimately, if a student has a huge passion and dream for his life, and cannot pass a certain general education course then his whole future is foiled. General education classes are redundant and do not aid the student whatsoever in cultivating skills required for his future job. Colleges and universities think general education courses are helping students when they actually are hurting them.

Every child should have a choice or say in what they wish to do in the future. Especially in High School, where kids are breaking free and beginning to discover who they are and what they wish to be in the future. Kids should be able to make decisions on their own with no outside influences to change their decision, to be able to have many options, and the ability to be whomever they wish to be.

Second, choosing their own courses makes it possible for students to learn deeper and become more professional in their field. Now there is a hot word called general

Parents push their children to have more academic jobs and majors to improve their child's “status.” But when a student with high academic achievement chooses to have a vocational style job it is seen as unfortunate or even a waste of genius and intellect. Students should have the opportunity to be trained in whatever careers they want, even if it is a more vocational job like a trade instead of an academic job. If these students find these vocational jobs more meaningful than any academic job they should have the right to choose them because of their pursuit of happiness.

I believe that a student should be able to choose some of the classes that he/she is interested in. This is the basis of the existentialist philosophy that was developed in the nineteenth century. A student should be allowed to choose classes that they are interested in other than the classes that are required by the school curriculum. Even though

Notably, school requires classes that need to be complete in order to fulfill the general education standards. While I think some classes such as English and math are essential, I do not think classes that are deemed useful in the future are necessary. From personal experience, a required course that I needed to take for high school graduation was Algebra 2. However, I’m aware that other schools does not Algebra 2 and plus it can be taken in college. In addition, it is unlikely that someone is going to use any form of algebra in his or her life unless they have a profession that incorporates it such as being a scientist or an engineer. Another course that can be said for the same reason are foreign language class. In some states, such as California, a foreign language like Spanish would be useful since a significant of the population speaks it. In all honesty, I think that foreign language classes should be optional rather than mandatory.
