Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Schools (universities, colleges, and high schools) should teach students about specific careers and jobs instead of general subjects.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
(Agree)
Schools are often successful at educating their students in a large number of different topics. Nevertheless, it is my opinion that schools, particularly universities, colleges, and high schools, should focus on teaching their students knowledge they will need for specific careers and jobs.
To begin with, schools must prepare their students for life after graduation by teaching them about careers and jobs. By doing so, students can get ready to enter the job market once they graduate either from college or high school. Sometimes, schools do an unsatisfactory job of preparing students for their future careers. These students often have trouble getting jobs or keeping them once they get hired. By focusing primarily on students’ future careers, the students will be equipped with the knowledge necessary to excel at their jobs and to keep them once they get hired.
A second point is that if schools offer career education, students can avoid learning unnecessary knowledge. Much of the knowledge currently taught at schools will not be used at all after the students’ graduate, so they have no need to take some classes that schools offer. For stance, I am not interested in working in a field that res math. Therefore, while I should know some elementary mathematics, I do not feel it is necessary for to learn calculus or trigonometry. Likewise, a future engineer should not bother with learning literature or history. By focusing only on the lasses students will need in their future careers, schools can eliminate lessons that are useless.
Also, having students focus on their careers and jobs will increase the rate at which students acquire knowledge in those fields. This is important because career education usually involves the actual practicing of hands-on activities. Some students, for example, get to do internships at companies before they graduate. This gives them a great opportunity to learn about their field of study. lf all students had chances like this, then they would all be much more knowledgeable in their fields.
In conclusion, I really believe schools need to focus on teaching their students about specific careers and jobs. By doing so, schools can cut down on the useless knowledge being taught while simultaneously equipping their students to be outstanding workers in their fields. This is why I support having students study only one or two core subjects.
