A nation should require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.
All over the world, national curricula enable students to specialize in some specific areas and completely forsake others. Examples are numerous: IB, A levels, French Baccalaureate. Is this the right thing to do? Should a nation require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college? I believe that students should be allowed to choose some fields of specialisation. This will make their studies more interesting and vocational. Furthermore, they will be better prepared for university. However, one important prerogative for this recommendation is that students acquire a strong background in some crucial subjects such as mathematics, whatever the curriculum they opt for.
Why do I need to study physics at high school if I intend to become an economist? A young student asks. Indeed, many students hate school because they find many subjects irrelevant to their future careers. For instance, an aspirant economist might simply not understand why he has to learn how light travels across space or how electrons rotate. Enabling students to specilize will definitely make their studies more captivating. And, more motivated students shall be more successful.
Some may argue that at this early stage of their lives, students do not know yet their future career paths. However, students definitely know what their weaknesses and abilities are. Therefore, they can choose their predilected subjects and fathom them. Instead of acquiring superficial knowledge in everything, they will dive deeper into some specific areas. As they hone their skills, they will be better groomed to succeed at university.
Of course, this recommendation is predicated on students having achieved a certain level of knoweldge in some curcial subjects. For instance, history is very important. If the young person does not know some basic dates and fact about World War II for example, he won't be able to become a good citizen. Furthermore, his knoweldge being extremely limited, he may be considered an ignorant among his friends. Ergo, some subjects such as mathematics and history should be taught in all curricula, probably at different levels of difficulty though.
I think enabling students to specialise at an early stage of their careers is good. Those who still do not know what they want to do in life will simply choose the subjects they excel in. Those who do know, will be extremely happy to gain more elaborated knowledge. After all, motivation is the key to success!
