modusoperandi Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 After graduating from high school, people rarely multiply fractions or discuss ancient Rome, but they are confronted daily with decisions relating to home economics. Yet whereas mathematics and history are required courses in the high school curriculum, home economics is only an elective, and few students choose to take it. Which of the following positions would be best supported by the considerations above? A. If mathematics and history were not required courses, few students would choose to take them. B. Whereas home economics would be the most useful subject for people facing the decisions they must make in daily life, often mathematics and history can also help them face these decisions. C. If it is important to teach high school students subjects that relate to decisions that will confront them in their daily lives, then home economics should be made an important part of the high school curriculum. D. Mathematics, history, and other courses that are not directly relevant to a persons daily life should not be a required part of the high school curriculum. E. Unless high schools put more emphasis on nonacademic subjects like home economics, people graduating from high school will never feel comfortable about making the decisions that will confront them in their daily lives.
