i am a sophomore in high school and i have, indeed, been feeling very stressed about my future. i don't think that my school really gives enough options for the different types of things that us teenagers are into. Some of us have our future all planned out, and we want to take courses that support, and have to do with what we want our future to look like.
I've read some of the posts from other people and their taking this simple subject and exagerating and stretching it way too far. Its not going to be how they think its going to be. If we have options in high school that relate to our future, it will be very beneficial to the ones who want support for our future occupation.
Sure, we need math for paying our bills, and all that fun stuff...but thats what middle school is for. We learn math all the way up to albebra in middle school, and i think thats all we really need. We're not going to need geometry and calculus to pay our bills, i don't think that is neccessary for the people who want to major in english literature. Math may not be everyones "special talent." Some people are going to want to major in math, so that is why there is that option for them. If people want to major in english literature, there will be that option as well. even scaling down to the branches of english, like, journalism. I just think it will help teens get a better grasp on their future, and get them excited by having classes and that will support them.
i agree...
