Topic 2: Scarcity at School?

Scarcity always exists due to the human nature of unlimited desire but limited resources. As a result, making choices is important and necessary for our everyday life. In PAS, everyone has to make decisions, especially upon the use of time. The students have to decide what is their priority, academic career or leisure. Teachers also need to make choices between doing the painful grading works and sitting down and read a book. When we ask some students, “what have you down over the weekend?” the answer often ends up with “I sacrificed 1 hour of playing League of Legend in order to prepare for the test today.” Since the time is limited, they have to decide the distribution of time.  To get a good grade, these students have to give up the time playing computer games, instead, they need to use that time for studying.
I also need to manage the time between duty and fun. Finishing all the homework and being responsible on your grade are what a student supposed to do. However, it’s hard to do those things all the time without relax. The problem is: how much time am I going to spend on studying? And how much on resting? Although we always expect the time is endless, the truth is it’s not. There’s always a deadline. There’s always a due date. If I want to have a better grade, I have to remove some of the fun time to studying. Yet if I spent more time on having fun, I might have to pay a decline on the grades.
Scarcity, as the resources never fulfill the wants, always exists.
