3  Educational institutions have a responsibility to dissuade students from pursuing fields of study in which they are unlikely to succeed.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position.

Educational institutions, long been known as the critical orgnizations for one's life, have a responsibility to instruct people how to become success. The duty of educational institutions is to offer students educational guidance which focuses on the complete development of individual students through a series of services designed to maximize school learning, stimulate career development, and respond to the personal and social concerns that inhibit individual growth. The statement might  probably be an approach for those institutions to help students easier to achieve success.
   Nonetheless, this statement may slightly conflict with their duty. Educational Guidance, process of helping students to achieve the self-understanding and self-direction, has to allow students to make informed choices and move toward personal goals. It is highly recommended that a student must be free from any outside influence. The educational institution should play a more constructive role in a student's decision by appreciating his/her decison and guiding him forward. Educational institutions should always try not to act as dictators, and influencing such decision, justifying it by their experience as past experience with one particular student cannot be used as a general truth for every future decision. Whether a student will succeed at a particular couse of study or not, it only depends on the students.
   The statement is also highly questionable due to the subjectivity of success. Oxford dictionary defines "success" as "being able to achieve goals that one set up."  However, a heated question being raised up by many in recent years is "what is the actual standard of success?" Some may render that success is to experience; they concentrate on not the result whether the field will bring them weath and fame or not, but the process which may teach them unique lessons. In that case, the common standard of success defined as achieving social recognition cannot fit with those "experienced" men. Furhtermore, the unlikely success deemed by educational institutions might be a great success in later times. The artist  Vincent Van Gogh, one of the greatest of the Post-Impressionists, only became astoundingly popular after his death, especially in the late 20th century, when his work sold for record-breaking sums at auctions around the world and was featured in blockbuster touring exhibitions. If the educational institution Van Gogh attended successfully asked him to abandon painting career just because of his masterpieces unrecognized by masses in 19th century, abundant popular works of art would not exist forever.
   Finally, typically in the fields of science and technology, the unlikely success may be more valuable if it will be able to accomplish later. Dissuading students form researching in exsiting tough problems can make the age unparalleled regression.Nowadays, the oil resources are running out and all kinds of contamination is a growing problem. Although clean, renewable and endless resources are unlikely to be fund, any similar resources will promote the development of human beings continuously and make our world full of lush forests and beautiful lakes. Requiring students not to find more perfect resouces instead of oil is to block the sustainable development of human beings.  
   In a nutshell, the duty of educational institutions is not to dissuade students from those fields unlikely to succeed but to encourage them overcome the difficulties they met, not to limit the students world in a comfortable zone but to expand their experiences to know better of the world, and not to maintain the order of exsiting systems but to motivate students to break rigid and lifeless rules.
