А:I believe that young pupils should choose their own subjects
B:I think that every subject is necessary, a kid might not think that he will need a certain subject later on in life, for example chemistry, because he's going to be an engineer, but then, it 10the grade he might start getting interested in chemistry, and will have to do engineering for he rest of his life.
A: I do not agree whith you because a child can take multiple classes and narrow them down while he gets older.
B:But if every child has their own schedule, it will be hard to teachers to make school schedules for everyone, because a lot of people will go on one subject, and none to the other, and it's going to be really hard for the students to manage their time.
A:This can teach the kids time management, that will help them in the long run.
B:Yeah, I guess you're right.
