Seeing the Unseen PILES OF WORK

KARIZZA MANALIGOD

Nowadays, students are faced with an unbearable amount of schoolwork that seems irrelevant to the true meaning of learning and just produces robot-like students. Is this how the education system should pan out in our country?

Nonetheless, not all of the teachers overload their students. In fact, some give enough due dates to get the task done. While saying to students encouraging words such as “still have enough rest and sleep and never abuse our bodies doing different tasks,”

Giving enough time to finish a certain task is essential, especially for the well-being of students that would do such tasks, such as the performance task, wherein subjects usually have a large percentage allotted and students should have a high quality of work in order to obtain high grades.

In fact, students’ physical health is important. If physical health is not maintained, so is mental health. Students have a tendency to lean on academic validation, which causes a lot of peer pressure. The pressure will eventually become stress until the following mental health problems arise. From there, the determination among students dwindle, since the routine is always ticking on the clock. What will happen to the future of students when their determination is lacking?

If we just allow the youth of today maximize their potentials by having a compromise, school is a better place to live in. We will create an environment that is healthy not just for students but also for teachers, cooperation will be exhibited. It will spell a big difference in the field of the academic journey as well as the quality of the education system.

Schoolworks should be given and done one at a time. In as much as students deal with time management still we can not get rid of the fact that schoolworks pile up. Most of the time, schoolworks comes so suddenly. Consideration is the key, if it does so. Schoolworks can be a tool for enhancing skills, but too much is always harmful.
