The easy ones: the stupid girls at the bottom take them. Like dance. It shouldn39。t even be a subject. We39。re choosing subjects for our Alevel taster day at school. I see the raised eyebrows (眉毛) when I explain two of my GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) choices are dance and drama(戲劇). I was told by advisers that dance and drama wouldn39。t help me to get a suitable career. My friends told me I39。d get bored of dance and switch to science within the first month. But taking GCSE dance was the best decision I ever made. Dance gives me something to pour my head and heart into. It gives me a feeling of belonging, creativity, security and freedom. The education secretary Nicky Morgan has put emphasis on (強(qiáng)調(diào)) science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), saying that students who focus on the arts risk their careers. Stopping young people from expressing themselves at such a young age is not doing them any favours. Perhaps Nicky Morgan has forgotten to open the door of having a drive to study that subject day in, day out. It shouldn39。t matter what that subject is. I don39。t doubt the influence that STEM subjects can have on the people that love them. But to force children into one field is cruel. As much as I try, I39。m not good at and don39。t love physics, biology or maths. I don39。t want a career in these areas. There has been a decrease in the number of state schools offering arts subjects taught by specialist teachers. I can39。t even imagine how it feels to be told that you don39。t teach a real subject by an 8yearold boy. To the teachers, the parents, the government I say: Let children make their own decisions. Let them live in the present. Let them have a real, unlimited education.（1）How does the boy in maths feel about dance?
