As methods of education advance in our modern society, it's time we stop trying to constantly modify it and think about what's really the best for our children. Yes, the basic literacy and numeracy subjects. After all, they provide the essential foundations for a good career (which is what school is all for) and life. But with unnecessary subjects wasting precious time and resources, our children's futures are at risk. Every second of their learning time is precious and determines their future. Will you waste that time, or focus on the vital literacy and numeracy subjects?

Future careers are depend heavily on what you learn in school. And most future careers depend on basic maths and english skills. Journalists, scientists, technicians-if you want to get your dream job you must have even a little experience in those area. Even in daily life, from buying groceries to cooking, you need those skills. The illiterate and uneducated may prove a good example-they struggle day-to-day, whether it's telling the time to getting a job, and this all leads to the fact that no one could help them improve the crucial maths and literacy skills that one needs to survive in this century. This is why no precious learning time can be wasted on anything else-there is too much to risk.

You may have noticed that most subjects don't provide these opportunities. And students with different tastes like different activities-so why waste everyone's time forcing an unwilling child to participate in an unnecessary subject? Schools don't consider whether a student wants to be an artist, yet it's still reasonable for them to force a child into doing the art class. They could have been learning important persuasive skills or arithmetic! If time is so precious, parents have the right to not waste their money on subjects their children don't need.

Money is also utilised properly if literacy and numerical talents are emphasised. If more focus is put on those areas, more money goes into those resources. If more money is used for those resources, the more helpful the education is. This ensures a good use of education, and is necessary for the success in life that all adults put such importance on. No wonder schools that put emphasis on english and math subjects are so desirable!

When our children's futures are at risk, it's important that we really evaluate what is the best for our developing generation and society. It all starts with good education-and this means strengthening the tools crucial for any job, numeracy and literacy. In such a dangerous world with impressionable, easily influenced students, it's our responsibility to consider what is the most beneficial for them. If we are too reckless, our actions will later reflect on us when it's become too late to make those changes.
