Should schools only teach academic subjects - IELTS Practice Schools have been regarding as the place that help disseminate knowledge. Although learning how to distinguish between right and right may displace the time that students could spend studying, I am convinced that it is necessary to teach them this distinction. Some people may argue that schools should only teach academic subjects in view of the importance of academic success. It is well-known that a good grade is almost the only way to enter some prestigious universities in the world. To achieve this goal, it would be better for students to fully concentrate on their study . Students are also exposed to high pressure from their study , if they have to focus on other things that are not related to their study ,like telling right from wrong , they may not have enough time to improve their grades. Without good grades, the may fail to enter their dream university and lack confidence, thereby having difficulties in finding a decent job. Opponents, however, argue that teaching students how to discriminate right and wrong is also important, because it can help them behave in a socially acceptable way. Unlike adults, students are normally not aware of the differences between right and wrong and the consequences of doing things in a wrong way. Teachers can teach them moral principles and social norms, which enables them to realise how to choose the right way to solve a problem. For example ,when having arguments with their peers ,students may choose to fight with them which will possibly injure each other. If schools have already taught them the right way to solve this kind of problem, they may make an apology to each other and mitigate this problem. In my view , the ability to understand the distinction between right and wrong plays an important role in children's future life. Without the this ability, when they grow up , they may not be able to regulate themselves and violate rules . For instance , people may sometimes be motivated by self-interest to do things that would be harmful to others, like betraying their friends and family. From what has been discussed, I would argue that schools should not only teach students academic subjects but also how to find the right way in their life, which will help them to become a socially acceptable person , although paying too much attention on right and wrong may influence their academic study. I'm trying to make great efforts to improve my writing skill. Thanks for reading and help : )
