Specialization in Schools

            Why would you take classes you’re not interested in and will not succeed in, in the long run?  Well that’s how schools are run today, students must take classes that they have no interest in and are expected to accomplish great things with the facts they learn.  But without passion toward a subject nothing good can be achieved and ultimately the school and the student loses valuable time and resources that could have been changed to aid the student.  Having a variety of students all learning the same material only makes them a jack of all trades not valuable assets to society.  In America, specialization is key for example there are numerous doctors out in the health care system, but they all work on different parts of the body.  There are cardiologists, dermatologists and orthopedists, it’s not just one doctor who works on everything instead we flip that and have one doctor specialize on one body part so they can become experts in their fields.  Not everyone wants to learn about the same topics so why are we treating each student the same?  We should implement the college outlook on education in high school so students understand that their life is their own to make, whether it is what society wants it to be or otherwise.
