Do We Really Need It ? (OTR)
Have you ever sat in a class and thought when will I use this in life? Well, I feel that way in almost all my classes. English class I know is so, I will know how to use correct grammar, write college essays, ect. I know I will need that in life. Math will also be used in my life. People use math all the time. They use it to count money, figure out your pay, pay bills, to make sure you get back the right change, ect. Then, there is Social Studies. After knowing the basics of Social studies ( like the presidents, how government works, certain history) honestly I think I will not be asked what are the presidential requirements or who is Christopher Columbus or anything like that. Why should I learn something I never will use. Now if your going into the political world and being a judge, senator, president, or anything like that then I say go for it. You take all those classes, but if I am not going into that profession there is no point. Then the last and my favorite subject Science. Now this subject i know is useless to. If your not going into a profession requiring it then why take it. In my opinion, your should be based on your career path. I think by the time you in high school your classes should be based on this. That way people will be happy about the classes. They will actually want to take the courses and try in the class because they know they will use it in life. So think as you sit in your next classes and ask yourself," do I really need this in life?"

I do think it's frustrating sometimes to be in classes that you feel are useless. However, as a high school student, you don't always know what you want to do later on. By taking a variety of classes, it shows you what you like and what you don't. I think the core subjects - math, science, social studies, and English - are all valuable. You have already expressed why English and math are needed. Social Studies matters because you need to know where we come from and where we are headed. We don't want history to repeat itself. It is best to learn from the mistakes. Science is important because we need to know how life and all of its intricacies work. That way, you have a well-rounded view of the world and what it has to offer. Once you go to college, you'll have to take a few core classes too, but you'll also be submerged in your career path. You'll love it.
