In today's world, knowledge of what is happening in other states or countries is very important. Through the study of these subjects, students become more aware of other people and their traditions and cultures. America is made up of a hodge-podge of different cultures, and students need to be aware of other cultures in order to interact socially with others. We no longer live in a local community with no communication outside our area. Technology, such as computers, is one of our greatest resources and should be made available in schools to provide opportunities for students to learn about our world.
Computer skills are a necessity for survival in our world today and in the future.
With technology on the increase and our population increasing, there will be a great demand for people with excellent computer skills. Through the use of the Internet, students can learn an infinite wealth of knowledge about our world, which is so important in our society. Besides general knowledge of our world, schools should offer the opportunity to instill knowledge in specific subjects that would prepare students for the workplace. Whether students want to pursue a career in nursing, teaching, or becoming an accomplished musician, they should be given the opportunity for training in that specific vocation. A background in a broad general knowledge is very important, but vocational opportunities are equally as important for students.
