an example - AGREEING

One strong reason why students should be allowed to choose all their subjects is that they feel more motivated when studying what they really enjoy. Moreover, when learners have the freedom to focus on topics they like, they are more likely to participate actively and make an effort. For instance, a student who loves art will probably spend more time practising and improving their skills than if they were forced to study a subject they dislike. As a result, motivation increases and learning becomes more meaningful.

More motivation: Students work harder when they study what they really like. Active participation, make an effort. Personal interests: Everyone has different talents and goals, so choice makes learning more meaningful. Example: if a students likes X, they will spend more time practicing and improving skills.

an example - DISAGREEING

Secondly, allowing students to choose all their subjects could lead to a lack of basic knowledge. Some subjects, such as Maths or Spanish, are essential for everyday life and most jobs, even if students do not enjoy them. What is more, teenagers may not yet understand how important these subjects are for their future studies or careers. Therefore, it is important that schools make sure all students learn the main academic skills before they specialise in what they like.

Lack of basic knowledge: Some subjects like Maths, Spanish (and English!) are necessary for everyone (life and jobs) Limited experience: Teenagers might not know yet what they will need in the future. Role of schools: making sure they provide main academic skills.
