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 100%, it will for sure make me work harder.

  • I do believe that students should be able to pick their own classes. Allowing students to pick their own classes would most likely benefit them more. This also might have an effect on the students career and they should be able to pick classes that would be beneficial to their career path.

  • I think students should be able to pick their own classes. But i don't think colleges would lose money. I think they would still go to collage becuase you can't take all the collage classes in highschool. i think the government should let everyone pick their own classes in highschool.

  • I think that students should be able to pick their classes. I think this because students can pick the classes that would benefit them for what they want to do with their life. I think colleges would potentially lose a bit of money but could also make lots of money in the process.

  • 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.

  • We should get to pick our own classes because some subjects aren't for everyone and so its nice to be able to pick what you want. It can help when you get to college so you're atleast a little expierenced with what you do and it helps you know what you want to do when your older.

  • I think that every student sould be able to pick their own class that benifit them because why should students taking a lot of math have to take it if they are not going into anythng with math. I think that colleges would still make money because they would find a way to make money. I think that the government should make a change.

    • I agree, That collges would still make money but just not the right way.

  • I think we should definitely be able to pick our own classes. If a student is in a class they have no interest in it is kind of a waste of time. I think students should be required to take the obvious classes they need but they should get to pick and choose there electives based on their interests.

    • I absolutely agree, it a waste of time to take classes you dont need.
