Should kids be able to pick classes?

           Though kids do not like school, should they be able to pick their own classes? There is a lot of controversy if kids pick their own classes they will like school way better and it will set them in the right way with what they wanna do after school. Also it is stated it lets kids have some steam off, they say start with small activities. Then move up to what they wanna do. Most kids want to go to college not into the work force right away, but if they offer classes that are in college most people will not want to go to college because they have already did it in highschool. People think that math is useless in highschool because you will never learn it in life, that is why people wanna pick the classes they want to do after highschool.

 

 

 

          A lot of people say that if school changed which they can pick there own classes many people would be happy. Also kids would have more responsibility and freedom. Also it leads students to want what they wanna do, if they don't wanna do that subject they can change to try something else before getting college. I also think that it could screw up some college places because no kids will wanna go to college because they have already did it in highschool. The school we have right now is also stressing kids out because they feel there is no point to Science,English,Math,etc.

 

        I personally think we should be able to pick classes we want to take because I will need that after school.

Do you think we should pick our own classes?

 

Do you think colleges would lose money?

 

Should the government make a change?

    • I agree Weston, I think so some classses that are some what important.

  • I think that students should be able to pick their classes. It definitely helps when students are in classes they want to be in, instead of classes they are required to be in. We are teenagers and I don't think all of us are so responsible.Allowing students to pick their own classes would most likely benefit them more with the career that they want to go into.

  • I don't think we should pick our own classes because people would just pick easy things that won't help then get a good carrer. We are teenagers and I don't think all of us are so responsible.

    • I disagree Alex, because wanna explore what they wanna do, so they want to pick classes they think they wanna do.

  • I think that students should be able to pick their classes. It definitely helps when students are in classes they want to be in, instead of classes they are required to be in. I definitely feel like some classes should be required, but up to a certain point. Especially once you pick what you want to be, then the student should be able to fully choose their classes to benefit their future. 

  • I think that we should be able to pick what classes we get. However, I think that they already do give us some freedom. They do make us take classes like chemistry and algebra two. We would have more freedom if our school was bigger because there would be more teachers for more classes.

    • I agree and disagree, I think our school is small for more classes, but I think we should still have a little more freedom.

  • Yes i think we should be able to pick our own classes becasue there are certain classes that we should take that will help us on what we want to do in futire and there are some classes that we just dont need in life but others we do 

  • Yes, I think I should be able to pick my own class so I get the education I need and not the education the school wants to give me. I think colleges will still be making money because there are a lot of people going to college every year. I think the government needs to make changes to the school education system.

  •  I think that if someone is set on what they want to do as a career then they should be able to take the classes they think will be beneficial for that job. If I wanted to be a english teacher why would I take science and math classes when I could focus on english classes that would help me with my future job.
