Some people claim that many things that children are taught at school are a waste of time. Other people argue that everything children study at school is useful at some time. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="OLE_LINK12">It is true that the main purpose of
education is to equip students with knowledge and skills that are necessary for
their lives and careers. Although learning some subjects is a waste of time
sometimes, I would argue that the knowledge students obtained from universities
is of great significance to their future life.<o:p></o:p></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the one hand, many
people believe that some majors that students study are no sense and cannot
bring some benefits to them, possibly because these courses cannot be applied
in their lives. For example, students find that mathematics is extremely
difficult and they spent much time leaning, but mathematics skills can be
irrelevant to their daily life. As we live in a technology age, even though we
meet some questions about mathematics, we can use computers or other high-tech
devices to help us solve it. As a result, the time and efforts spent on math
are unworthy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other people are in favour
of the importance of skills that they obtained from schools, because it can
help them live better lives and advance their careers. For instance, students
can work as a specialist in computer industries if they study in computer
engineering after graduating. Consequently, they are more likely to earn high
salaries, which can make them enjoy a high quality of life. For these people,
it is the knowledge that makes them successful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my opinion,
knowledge can make a big difference to people’s future life. People learned
some curriculums from university and they should treat it using a long term
sight. Since what they learn cannot give them immediately return, these people
should understand that it will perform its function in the near future. As an
example, students receiving tertiary education in chemistry field but work in
IT companies may think that their majors are useless. However, when these people
change their job, and start their careers in some fields that they ever did
some research. As a consequence, these skills will play a crucial role in their
daily work, or even hold the key to the promotion.<o:p></o:p></p>
