Why Are High School Science Courses Relevant?
“Should
our son take foreign language or math?” is a question many of us
asked ourselves, when picking the educational path for our children.
Parents often have a hard time deciding, and the debate can raise
either between parents or between parents and the child, who may
disagree with your choice.
When
you are in high school, you are are preparing yourself the most
important stage of your life – collage or university, and you want
to make sure, you don't hurt your chances of getting in. Of course,
it all comes down to child's career choice, but adding science
classes is a norm, if you consider a non-holistic future. Most
collages would expect too see that the student took at least 2 years
of science classes, since physics, biology and chemistry are taught
in almost all high schools today. If you aim higher, and plan to
apply to any of the most prestigious collages in the country, where
competition is stiff, be aware that these collages require 4 years of
science classes. Obviously, it should go without saying, that if you
plan to become an engineer or build your career around any other
technology related occupation, science classes in high school are
mandatory. Even if you are just entering high school, and have no
idea what you would want to study in collage, taking science classes
right from the start is highly advisable. You wouldn't want to miss
the train and realize 1 year later, that with just 3 years of science
you no longer have a chance to major in the field you want. When you
are younger, and someone says the word “science” , you may only
imagine a lab with colorful liquids, and ask yourself, “why on
earth would I need it?”, but there is so much more hiding under the
term “science”, and one of the key things that hide behind this
word is your future career choice opportunity...
