I think this is a interesting question because there are 2 totally different responses. First you'll have the casual answer that kids shouldn't be given that power, and that they are too young to make those types of big decisions, but yet we want them to know what to do with there lives by 18, okay. The second response would be, yes, why shouldn't they? I agree with the second response. In a world of someone who cares about their education, i want to know more about things, and know less about certain things. If i know that I don't like biology why should i spent 180 days (average school year) of my life on it. Adults say so that's why. Somehow they get to say what we need to know and what not to know to graduate, That's an awful system. Why do i need to know things that wont help me in life. I asked my parents this and they said "you just have to, we did, and now you have to too" so you can see that this system has been in place for far too long. We as a growing country need to change the education system, it desperately needs to be reformed, and soon.
