There is a lot of pressure on young people today to succeed academically. As a result, some people believe that non-academic subjects, such as physical education and cookery, should be removed from the school syllabus so that children can concentrate on academic work. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, children are put under pressure by society to be academically successful. Even though part of people believe that non-academic subjects, such as physical education and cookery are not beneficial learning in school. While others believe that academic subjects like history, science, and math play an important role in the school. It is often argued to remove non-academic subjects from the school syllabus so children can concentrate on academic work. Although I completely disagree with this, because children will suffer in the near future. To begin with, the school cannot teach academic subjects only. Subjects like science, math, and history put a lot of pressure on children because of how hard the subject is. Also, they need to focus their mind studying those subjects and they cannot enjoy studying them. Thus, non-academic subjects will keep their physical, mental, and emotional development growing. For instance, in physical education, they will learn to exercise and sharpen their mind. It will help children to be put at ease knowing that these subjects are not as hard as the others. On the other hand, academic subjects are good in school but it will not guarantee that they will excel in school. Some children who are pressured in school tend to be lazy because they think that they cannot survive academic subjects. As a result of this, 2 out of 10 children want to stop studying because they are pressured to have high grades. To conclude, though I disagree with removing non-academic subjects from school. I think the best way of studying for children is to have a balance of subjects in school.
