Some people think students should study the science of food and how to prepare it. Others think that school time should be used in learning important subjects. Discuss both views and give your opinion?
The selection of subjects in order to teach at school has, for quite sometimes, become a matter of controversies among not only educators but also parents. Nowadays, while several people support the idea that only subjects that can be considered as vital for pupils should appear in the curriculum, numerous other, including me, believe that student should also learn about the science of food and prepare meals. Then, both these aforementioned statements will be addressed in this essay.
To initiate, there are certain explanations to emphasize studying important subjects. One fundamental justification is that these subjects have an unparalleled necessity in passing academic examinations, thereby having a well-paid occupation in the future. It does not seem unreasonable to claim that the majority of tests for accessing higher education are designed to be focused on a limited range of subjects. By the way of exemplifying, the entry test to university in many Asian countries tend to focus on merely 9 academic subjects categorized into the Social Science and Natural Science. Therefore, spending school time on these subjects allegedly has more advantageous impacts on the future of students.
Nevertheless, from my perspective, the merits of learning about the science of food as well as preparing a proper meal should not be underestimated. The first and foremost reason is that this makes a great contribution to the future life of students. Although studying the science of victual does not help pupils to pass the test, it can offer them the ability to take care of themselves through healthy and nutritious diets which is unquestionably important when they turned into adults. Furthermore, opponents may argue that subjects like the science of food can be taught as an extra-curriculum class. Then, they seem to ignore the fact that not every parent can afford this special class and establish cookery in the syllabus can provide more children with the opportunity to learn about it.
In conclusion, despite the fact that some classes may very important in order to pass the tests, learning to prepare a proper meal should be taught at school since it provides children with a vital ability to take care of themselves.

Some opinions of putting the…
Some opinions of putting the new subject related to food science and displaying them have been raised and received several opposite responses. People from another side believe important subjects should be put all attention to as the priority at school. Both sides have some sufficient benefits for students which need to be considered.
To begin with, essential subjects at schools are difficult, so students need to put in a lot of effort and time if they want to achieve good grades. Math, English, Physics, Chemistry, for example, require an enormous amount of neurons in the brain. Taking these classes has already drained students’ brains enough at school, so adding a side subject such as food science may cause negative effects on students. Overworking at school could lead to depression, stress, or mental illness of students. Besides, it is easiest to approach difficult subjects in the class with teacher guidelines, which may turn out to be hard for making questions or self-studying at home. That is why lessons in these subjects at school are precious for students.
Food science and its displaying, on the other hand, provides students with an interdisciplinary approach to other subjects as well as basic survival skills. The interdisciplinary approach in this subject is the combining of knowledge of several fields to approach a matter. For instance, students would learn about nutrition in each food, which relates to chemistry, or the display of cuisine on the plate, which has the relation to art. As a result, students could also use the knowledge of another subject in practice and remember them better. Additionally, food is an irreplaceable natural source for keeping humans alive and healthy. Therefore, lessons about food not only help students to remain a balanced diet but also gives them survival knowledge such as distinguishing edible wild fruits in case they are lost in the jungle.
To sum up, while important subjects need full attention at school, I believe it is also necessary to have a class on food science and displaying as a relaxing and enjoyable lesson which contains full of valuable knowledge.
