Claire
Education has to evolve. Nowadays, there's an enormous amount of economic and political data freely available online. It's important that students can evaluate this information to understand local and world events in order to be good citizens. Reading fiction is a wonderful hobby, but school should prepare students for adult life and its responsibilities.
Paul
I spent a lot of class time in high school analyzing literature. I'm studying to be an engineer, so I admit that reading fiction in school was not directly applicable to my future occupation, but it did instill in me a love of reading, which is very valuable. I feel better equipped now to understand all sorts of written material.

In agreement with Claire's perspective, I believe that schools should prioritize teaching practical, nonfiction texts. Firstly, numerous students face financial pressures and need to secure stable employment in the future to alleviate these burdens. By acquiring professional knowledge in school, they can enhance their career prospects. Well-equipped with a wealth of expertise, they are more likely to be employed by high-paying companies and earn a substantial income. Secondly, schools should be accountable to society by fostering students' specialized skills, which can significantly contribute to societal advancement. For example, many schools now offer coding classes that enable students to master programming knowledge and apply it in their future careers. As a result, their professional accomplishments will drive the technological progress of society. Conversely, if schools primarily focus on teaching fictional literature, our society may experience a shortage of skilled workers capable of addressing complex technological challenges, ultimately hindering societal development.
