Should High School Students Be Allowed to Choose the Courses They Like? Most students would prefer to choose their own curriculum. It seems a good idea since students generally do better in subjects that interest them. After all, some required subjects are very boring and probably not very practical. Why not get rid of those boring subjects and let the students choose their own replacements? It all sounds great in theory. Nevertheless, I don’t believe high school students should be allowed to choose the courses they want to study. First, high schools have a duty to provide their students with a comprehensive and well-balanced education. Allowing each student to choose his own subjects won’t give them that balance. It is the school officials that are in the best position to decide which subjects would provide the breadth and balance of a good curriculum for all students. In addition, a standard curriculum is necessary for accurately measuring, comparing and rating academic performance. How can performance be fairly weighted and rated if each student is studying a different set of subjects? Moreover, many colleges require that their students study and complete certain basic courses that are one level above the ones in the standard high school curriculum. If a student has skipped any one of these standard courses in high school, he will have a difficult time completing a more advanced course in college. Second, many students will misuse the opportunity to choose their own subjects. Given the high pressure to make good grades, many students will naturally choose the easier subjects rather than the harder ones. For example, in my high school, we were allowed to choose two elective courses each semester. I remember hearing many of my classmates say that it’s the best to choose the easiest ones that will get them the better grades. High school students simply don’t know enough about the various subjects to make a well-informed choice that will benefit their education. All in all, allowing high school students to pick and choose what they want to study will detrimental to their overall education. High school is the best time for students to experience a wide variety of standard subjects. Students will have a lot of time in college and in graduate school to find and study the subjects they like best.
解析
本文作者认为高中生自主选课是不可行的。不过,在文章开头,作者先介绍了自主选课的好处,如可以选择自己喜欢的课程,而不用学习那些自己毫无兴趣的科目。紧接着,作者马上提问:Why not get rid of those boring subjects and let the students choose their own replacements?通过对这一修辞问句的否定回答,作者顺利引出了自己的观点。整个开头段自然流畅、先抑后扬、观点鲜明、重点突出。在正文中,作者提出了两大理由,一方面,学校有责任为学生提供全面均衡的教育;另一方面.很多学生会误用选课的机会。这两大理由有说服力,切中要害。此外,在论证方式上,作者主要采用了因果论证和举例论证两种方式,特别是用了自己高中时代的例子,从普通高中生的角度出发,让人信服。
