REASONS WHY I HATE STEM (K-12)
My
love section show that I really want practical activities because doing things
using my own hands can help me learn than memorizing terms and solving equations.
I know its lazy thing to hear but it’s me. Now, for this blog, I will now share
you the 4 activities or projects that makes me hate studying STEM. Thought this
is not only limited to STEM because it also applies to other strand and tracks.
During
my two years of being a STEM student, I always encounter so many equations to
calculate. I have General Mathematics, Solid Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Basic
Calculus, Statistics, Chemistry, Physics 1, and Physics 2 subjects. I used to
love computing because it gives me the satisfaction everytime I solved it. But
as time passes by, I encountered not only simple but also complex equations
that needs to be critically analyze in order to get the correct answer. Now, I
sometimes enjoyed solving them if the teacher is great and good but if not, I
start to hate it. The subject is a little bit difficult and what it makes it
more difficult for me is that some of our teachers don’t teach well and
sometimes they don’t know what they are teaching to us. Whose mind will still
be sane after right? Good thing I have friends whose good in this field that help
me to survive these subjects. Though the best key here is to self-study.
With
this strand there are so many things to memorize or learn (whichever the two
you do) and that are the formulas and terms. As I have just said that there are
so many calculations, so expect that there are so many formulas to memorize. During
my junior high school days, one of my teacher said that you don’t need to
memorize the formulas because what they test is how you solve the problem not
on memorizing the formulas. I always keep that in mind and hate the teachers
who makes us memorize the formulas. Also, there are so many terms that I need
to memorize because most of the test is not practical but more on concepts that
we really need to learn. Memorizing all the terms but only ¼ of it appears on
the test, how sad right?
The
immersion program is very short. This makes me really jealous to other strands because
they really practice their field, like going to a fast food chain to serve,
working in a company to do their task in their assigned field, attending an educational
outbound to tour other students, and such. Unlike us, what we only did is to
attend seminars and tour our future workplace. We didn’t even experience
working in the field, which is I understand because we don’t have the knowledge
and capabilities to do so. But still!!
Your
school year will not be complete if you didn’t do research. As for me, I did 5
research during my whole stay in senior high school. The Qualitative Research,
Quantitative Research, Physics project, Elective, and Immersion. I don’t know
why I don’t love doing this maybe because I’m too lazy to find significant
thoughts and ideas especially that some of our research is not common. Good
thing these activity is not an individual task ‘cause if its, then I’ll be
doom! Thank you to my groupmates, because you guys just save my life.
The
hate section is the reality that I need to embrace. The field I choose, which
is Nursing, involves a lot of terms, researches, and some solving. So with
these, it will help me how to fight the battle properly because the activities
that I did will serve as a practice that I need when I already face my college
life. K-12 is really a big help to students like us because we already have the
overview of what to expect in the future.
