Assignment 12

Compulsory subjects in high school

If you decide to come to high school, you can choose a lot of subjects that interest you. But there are also a lot of subjects that students are compulsory to read. Example. three curses religion. I don't understand why we can't choose how much we want to hear and "learn" about our own religion. It is our personal thing. I understand if we should take one course per subject and we can choose rest.
There are those who say that, Swedish must stop. But I understand Swedish, because we live in Finland and Finland has two official languages. So of course we need to know something about our second language.
I’m okay with all other compulsory subjects in high school, but religion is just only subject I can’t understand. We have to study religion our first nine classes, so why that much in high school too. Second thing, we know almost everything about these things what we have to study religion in high school. We know who is Jesus and history about him, we know a little bit about every other religions than Christianity and we know what is ethics.

So yes, if someone likes to study religion, if it’s passion to someone it’s okay. But this is “free country”, if I think I already know enough about my own religion why force. If I really want to know more, then I could choose the subject more. The way I see it, it isn’t so big deal if we could choose more subjects themselves, and maybe more people would choose high school after secondary school.
