There is a growing tendency nowadays for parents to send their children to register and attend a great variety of arts courses,such as dancing,calligraphy and musical instruments training,etc.The attitudes of people towards this phenomenon vary from person to person.
Some people maintain that these extra curriculums are of great necessity and benefits to students.According to a recent survey on pre-school intelligence level,the respondents who take part in out-class courses tend to perform better than those who haven’t.Moreover,the former can have an all-round development by acquiring knowledge and skills which are not taught in their schools.On the contrary,others argue that these courses would bring about heavy burdens to students and thus oppose to this practice.They worry about that students might not have adequate time to take rest and reflect on what they have learned in school.
As a university student,I have ever participated in some arts courses,such as singing and painting classes and they proved to be helpful for my hobby development.Therefore,as far as I’m concerned,taking some extra curriculum courses properly is meaningful to students’ development in the long-term.
