Opinions on School thing

[DynamiteBang 119]

If a single teacher can’t teach all the subjects then how could you expect a single student to learn all subjects.

Claps Claps. What a thoughtful topic.

[Ilia.ArchangeI 6,785]

Very simple.

 

Any self-respecting human should be knowledgeable in numerous aspects of his surrounding world. Thought it may not seem like it to you at the time, everything we learn through school and highschool, and even some of university is the basics.

 

In order to become a teacher of any given subject, however, you have to know a lot more than the basics! Teachers spend from 4 to 10 years studying one particular subject before they are ready to teach it. If a teach were to teach numerous subjects, he'd have to commit that much time to each - 30, 40 years - quite a bit.

Wow, that's the best topic you've made by FAR.

Well, in primary schools, teachers generally know how to teach the basics of all subjects which is needed in a primary school - however, it's a lot more complex in secondary schools - all the advanced aspects of subjects have to be learnt. I think it's harder to learn all subjects. Pretty much all of us will only end up pursuing our lives involving certain subjects anyway - that's why only the compulsory ones and the subjects you picked are taught from Year 10 onwards.

But they get to forget the complicated stuff of all the rest so whats the point of learning them in the first place instead of just learning one that you will be good in for a while...

It's year 8 and onwards in my school.

I can't fully tell if you think the quote is true or you don't believe its right...

Actually year 8 and onwards in my school.

I don't know why you're using "actually" like what I said is wrong - in my school, you do your own subjects from Year 10. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way but that just bothered me. 

I'm neutral on the situation hence why my statement may seem controversial.

Aha, ok.... ill change it..

Good topic ^_^

How're you going to know what you're good at if you only fully learn one subject? You might be great at the advanced level of Physics, for example, even though you could have been mediocre at it in secondary school. In any case, you're not going to be good at everything you learn, but employers want to see that you've had a varied education anyway. It's good to have a rounded knowledge; knowing a basic level of arithmetic but not being very good at further Maths topics is better than not knowing any Maths at all, for example.

Now days education system reminds me of this "Jack of all, master of none"

[Remaine 4,687]

At the same time, you may have in your mind what job you want to be when you grow up - limiting yourself to the subjects "you're good at" may not help you get that job in the future. You shouldn't have to base your future over one subject you're good at.

 

Also, the teachers do have a rounded knowledge of all the subjects since they learnt it at whatever schools they went to but they excelled in a certain subject to such an extent that they're able to teach it.

 

After thinking it through, I disagree with the statement now.

You've made a nice thread here and I don't really want to leave it to die.
