Reality in Public Schools

I have noticed that most high schoolers these days would rather not be in school and find it a waste of time. Personally I love school and don't fall into that category so I have a hard time understanding how these people think.

I think this could be changed if the structure of high school learning was changed. If it became less rigid where the students could specialize in a certain area that they are interested in. This would be kind of like electives but more in depth. While students would still have to take the required math, english, history, and science classes, those classes would be specialized towards what career they want to work towards. For example if a student wanted to be a journalist they could study the history of journalism for their history requirement.

This could prepare students even more for college and life beyond college. This would also add more creativity and flexibility to the students schedules.This seems like a very good idea to me as a high school student who aspires to move on to college in a year. This would help the students, the schools, the country, and even the world as a whole. This could even cause students to like school more than they do now.
