6. A nation should require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college.

Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.

The speaker asserts that a nation ought to require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college. I partly agree with the recommendation, since his suggestion can be regarded as a good way to ensure every student to receive an equal quality of education all over the country. However, the feasibility of this proposal is questionable considering some problems with it, which makes me view this recommendation not the optimum way for a good education.

Admittedly, it is true that uniform course has some merits. First, under the same national curriculum, a high and equivalent quality of education can be gained, which is equal to every student from different districts and this will ensure all students standing in an identical scratch line with the equal chance to enter college. Second, given the same national curriculum providing useful and necessary fundamental knowledge such as math, history, which are not only helpful to cultivate the logical thinking and cognitive skills, but also improve the abilities to solve several puzzled problems they confront by themselves. In sum, this recommendation of a same national curriculum is beneficial to all students over the country on account of the equivalent quality of education and improvement of basic skills.

However, the feasibility of this recommendation is flaw. On the first place, it is impossible that all districts and regions are able to provide the uniform curriculum. Given a large country like China, there are different races and the education resources in different areas vary. In some big and splendid cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the education resources are plentiful so that the national curriculum definitely can be guaranteed. While in some indigent regions such as Tibet, the education resources are deficient so that the students in these remote areas may not receive the same course. Besides, it is not available to implement this suggestion in multi- ethnic and multi- languages countries. Considering China again, in some special regions like Tibet where local people possess some kinds of traditions and customs totally different from most of areas in China, the application of the national curriculum may not be able to accord with their cultures and social values, or even totally goes against their traditions and customs. If students in those areas are required to learn the same national curriculum before they enter colleges, this method not only ruin their original education but also may result in contradiction and collision, which breach the purpose of education with respect to improving the convergence of multi- ethnic groups and sharing cultural values.

In addition, the general education by the same national curriculum may somehow confine the potentials of individuals. After all, every student has different preferences and abilities, which is not suitable to force them to study the same course in which the students are not interested rather than providing them with chances to find their real potentials. For example, if a student is really interested in and good at computer science but does not like other subjects, forcing him to study the same national curriculum most of which he is fed up with may lead to shortening his time to study computer science and diminishing his enthusiasm for studying, even be detrimental to his progress in computer science. Thus, to students of preferences and specialties, it is advisable to provide more spaces for them to develop what they are interested in and what they are good at. In the light, the same national curriculum cannot be good for unearthing the potentials of students.

To sum up, the recommendation to imply a same national curriculum is beneficial for every student with the equivalent quality of education and improvement of basic skills. However, there are some flaws in this suggestion of feasibility. As for some special areas lacking education resources cannot implement this recommendation and carrying out this method may limit the potential of students. Therefore, this recommendation is not the best way for good education.

--I think it might be possible. If the government were to require all students from a young age to study the national language and culture, which in turn may require them to leave home very early as well and that would be terrible (not to mention all the parents who wouldn't allow their children to leave).. Is it possible? Maybe... Is it probable? Nope.
