Topic 2: Scarcity at School?

Scarcity is everywhere in our lives. Even at school we face scarcities. Students have to decide on studying or surfing on facebook for the night. When they surf on the internet, then they have to give up the time to study for tomorrow's test. Teacher faces scarcity when they run out of time to teach on certain topics or chapters. In order to finish the topics, teachers might have to ask students to stay one or two hours after school, which the teachers may have other things planned to do already. Office staff sometimes faces the scarcity of textbooks. The school will have to buy more.The school as a whole also faces scarcity. For example, we don't have enough money to build better facilities. haha.. in order to build better facilities, we might have to pay more. At PAS, the most important scarcity I, or everyone else, faces is time. We either have to trade a time to do this for another time to do that. During the AP week, I had a scarcity of time because I had to study for four APs. I had to trade an hour for sleeping for an hour of studying. Some other tradeoffs I had to make is losing a period of study hall to have an appointment with Pamela, spending 3000 NT to trade for a textbook, and spent extra hours after school for the MUN mock debate instead of doing my homework.
