In America, history is still a required subject at lower levels and students still choose to study it at higher levels. However, there is an ongoing discussion about whether schools should continue to teach History or whether they should spend the money on other subject. This article will deal with the arguments against and in favour of teaching History in school, concluding that we should teach History.

Many of my classmate suggest that History is one of the less interesting school subjects and that governments should spend the time and money on subjects that are more useful. They argue that Maths and English are more important so we can have a society with a good basic education. Others say that we should spend the money on teaching Science, as this can move a country forward and benefit the economy.

Yet, there are a number of reasons why it is a good idea to teach History. Teaching history is important because students should be able to understand the background to present situations in the news. This will create better-informed citizens. Another reason is that it helps pupils to understand their culture and background, which also helps them to understand the society they live in. In addition to learning about the past, History can help students to think for themselves. Finally, it also improves pupils’ reading and writing skills, which can help them become better students.

In conclusion, although there are clear arguments on both sides, it seems to me that we should teach children about the past because the value of the subject goes beyond the classroom. I would say that the teaching of History helps to create generations of well-educated and knowledgeable individuals.

文章大意：本文將討論反對和贊成在學校教歷史的論點，得出我們應該教歷史的結(jié)論。教歷史是個好主意有很多原因。歷史教學是很重要的，因為學生應該能夠理解新聞的背景和現(xiàn)狀。這將創(chuàng)造更多知情的公民。另一個原因是它幫助學生了解他們的文化和背景，這也有助于他們了解他們所生活的社會。除了了解過去，歷史還能幫助學生獨立思考。最后，它還能提高學生的閱讀和寫作能力，幫助他們成為更好的學生。最后，雖然雙方都有明確的爭論，但在我看來，我們應該教孩子們關(guān)于過去的知識，因為這門課的價值超出了課堂。歷史教學有助于創(chuàng)造一代又一代受過良好教育和知識淵博的人。
