Hello Kitosdad. Hope you are fine. Thanks for reviewing my essay
Agree/Disagree:High schools should allow students to study only the courses that they really want to.
Allowing high schools to offer subjects to students, or letting students study only the subjects they are interested in, has become a controversial issue among many people over the past few years. From my point of view, it is sensible to let high schools offer courses to their students. My reasons and examples listed below will strengthen my point of view.
In the first place, students at this age are not mature enough to choose their courses. To my way of thinking, they are not even familiar with their strengths, weaknesses, abilities, and potential. Therefore, studying the subjects offered by their high schools can give them better insights to know more about themselves. When a student studies mathematics, literature, music, and history, he can get a thorough understanding of each subject. An example based on my personal experience will bolster this fact. Since I was a child, I wanted to become a doctor. However, by studying both mathematics and biology at high school, I realized that I am more comfortable with logic and reasoning than memorizing the structure, function, and growth of an organism.
Secondly, another advantage of offering courses to students is that some students may choose only the subjects that are simple and require less hard work. To illustrate this fact, consider a person who prefers studying a foreign language to mathematics, or he may have heard that the mathematics teacher will be very strict and put enormous pressure on the students by giving homework and exams. As a result, these students will never get a chance to learn new skills, or broaden their views. There are also more chances for them to spoil their futures.
Thirdly, by studying different subjects at high school, students will not get bored. For instance, if a person studies mathematics continuously, he will become tired of the subject, and may even find the subject very difficult. However, in addition to mathematics, if he studies other subjects, such as literature, music, history, etc he will never get bored, and can also start studying his subject of interest more efficiently and energetically.
To put all in a nutshell, all subjects should be mandatory for all students at high school, since this can be a good way for students to realize their strengths, gain more knowledge, and can reduce boredom. ................................................................................................................................ So very good Leenda.

| Can I ask you a minor question about the amount of time that you spend writing your essay? Thank you for your concern |
Mostly I write in 20minutes,and 10 minutes to correct spelling ... However, there are topics that I spent around 40 minutes to find better reasons and examples. |
