(1) In my opinion, while new and innovative subjects can be beneficial, they should not be a priority in public school curricula. This view aligns with Kate's opinion that the primary purpose of high school is to prepare students for higher education and foundational life skills. (2) I would further argue that introducing new courses could present significant challenges in budget allocation for public schools, which often operate with limited resources. (3) Specifically, implementing innovative subjects would require additional funding for specialized materials, updated technology, and teacher training, which might strain budgets already allocated for core subjects like math, science, and language arts. (4) For instance, a local high school near me attempted to introduce a digital media course but faced difficulties due to the high cost of purchasing cameras, editing software, and hiring a qualified instructor. As a result, the program was scaled back, and resources were diverted to other essential programs. (5) This example highlights how budget constraints can limit the feasibility of adding new courses, suggesting that public schools should focus on strengthening existing curricula rather than expanding into innovative but resource-intensive subjects.
