憤怒的意粉UID: 3556079

A nation should require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college.

Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.

National curriculum has been introduced into many countries for a long time, although some may argue that such scheme has robbed our society of substantial diversity, it is generally agreed upon consent that a unified curriculum in early education across the nation, will improve social welfare by promoting social stability and labour productivity. Therefore, the government should always enact some variants of curriculum scheme at pre-tertiary level.

One main purpose of national curriculum is to prepare its nation's youngsters for the future challenges, by equipping them with the necessary skills. For example, back in the old days, the ability to read and write was a major focus in most national curriculums; as a result was a period of increase in literacy rate with economic growth ensued. In present days, the list of vital skills has evolved to include more contemporary knowledge, such as computational techniques, leadership and social skills etc. A knowledge set that is not only hard to imagine to live without but is also relatively non-accessible to our children without a core curriculum. Thus, a curriculum scheme ensures our children are well-equipped for the ever-increasing complex world.

There is no denying that a curriculum scheme inevitably reduces some amount of heterogeneity among the individuals. However, it would be too extreme to say that the scheme would turn schools into "sausage factories", as those depicted in Pink Floyd's famous album The Wall. This is because while the scheme does take away a proportion of student's time to study some specified material, it does not, inhibit the schools to encourage students to explore extra-curricular activities. Hence, unique and talented individuals can still be produced under such education system. Famous examples include Emma Watson, who participated in the Harry Potter film while completing her GCSEs and A-LEVELs, and the list goes on, such as numerous famous young American athletes showing great potentials while balancing their SATs.

Lastly, the curriculum also aims to imbue our youngsters with virtuous characters. Through citizenship education classes, students will learn to respect others, obey laws and above all the ability to judge. A society with a well-informed public and high civility is sure to thrive.

In short, it is true that a curriculum scheme will create some homogenization; however they are manageable through additional substiles, and its economic impact and social benefits are far too significant to be forgone. So I recommend all policy makers to consider implementing a curriculum scheme if they have not done so.

小伙伴用词很厉害！比我厉害多啦，感觉我不能算点评只能算来探讨一下啦~

我觉得这个题目重点是the same,和national curriculum 所以我觉得文章应该围绕大学之前的课程该不该相同来写？而且我个人觉得这篇写反对比较好写。当然如果写同意的话说不定会让老师眼前一亮。

然后正文段，感觉可能因为时间原因写的有点少。
第一个正文段主题句观点不是很清晰。总体的内容还是很不错的！加油！！
