I am really glad that I get to go to school. I'm grateful I'm getting an education. But sometimes, school really frustrates me. I don't mind doing a lot of accounting homework, it can be hard, and it usually takes hours. While working on an assignment for hours can be a little frustrating, I find that homework applicable. I know that it is important for me to do so I can learn, not only to pass the test, but also for my future career.
The real frustration lies somewhere else. Let's start with generals. I am an accounting and finance major. I do not like science. I am glad other people like science, because I know it is important. But I don't want to spend my time writing papers about science. I believe that generals should be easy, and not time consuming at all. But I guess you just have to deal with them.
And my number one frustration of the day. Calculators. Due to cheating capabilities, graphing calculators are not allowed for use on some tests. Yeah, some people decide to program their calculators instead of studying for tests, but I hate that I cannot use my calculator on these tests!
I hate the stupid calculators that don't have a display screen. Yeah, they're fine for adding a number or two, but when your finance teacher asks you to do THIS...
...try to not make a mistake or two that will destroy your answer.
I hate this. There is so much room for error, and it's not realistic. In the real world, I will never do this will a paper and pencil. We have Excel for a reason. I hate that on my test this week, I will miss the questions with tons of calculator work. Not because I don't know what I'm doing, but because I can't type numbers into a calculator with 100% accuracy.
And that's why school is dumb. Maybe instead of Ag science class, they should make you take a calculator class.

School is also dumb because it prevents us from being able to stay up into the late hours of the night discussing philosophies of life haha
ReplyDeleteSeriously! I mean, what's really important? The philosophies of life or finding the variance of a portfolio?
