I don't think everyone should be forced to take certain classes. Not everyone thinks in the same way and a lot of people are dropping out of school do to a lack of self confidence because these classes are so hard for them and many of these classes they will never need at any point in their lives. Take for example, math. While I agree everyone should have an understanding of basic math the math classes they force kids to take are absolutely ridiculous and, quite often, unnecessary. Not everyone is good at math and I think the only people that should be forced to take those high level math classes are the ones that have a career field it is necessary for. I think before kids enter school, they should be required to take a test to see which field their minds work best in and those are the fields they should be pushing them in. If their mind works best in math, then give them math classes. If it's art, give them art classes. They should be pushing them in the field that their minds already work best in, not forcing them to do something their minds weren't made for.
are all classes necessary
