Writing Question: "Some people say that the modern world changes so quickly that school curriculums become quickly outdated. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?"

Answer: "With regard to the argument that changes in the modern world quickly outdate school curriculums, I believe that there is truth to this. Firstly, advancements in technology and science can quickly outdate the information taught in school.
