At school you are faced with very important decisions that will affect you for the rest of your life.
One of these is choosing what subjects you wish to learn to get the best academic results.
Your first thoughts are to choose the subjects that your friends are taking.
Wrong answer.
Your learning needs are unique to you, your learning style is also unique to you.
Next thought is to take a subject that is easy.
Partially correct.
This subject may start easy and progressively become more difficult as time passes. This leads to the 'I give up' syndrome.
How about taking a subject with a teacher you like?
Partially correct.
Your teacher is human. This means they have additional stresses from time to time, added workload, family issues etc etc. They can change over time. What if they left the school?
