Is School Really Stressful? by uncleck: 8:00pm On Sep 01, 2020
Almost everybody complain of how stressful school is bla bla bla... Sometimes I'll just be asking myself: is it this same school all of us attended or is there something I'm missing? During my days in school, girls particularly always complained of stress. We attended lectures, had take-home assignments, did term papers and seminars and wrote exams by the end of the semesters. All these activities could be completed in just one month, but they are spread across several months, yet people say they are stressful. Sometimes I wondered why we did a semester from September till March doing 8-12 courses.

Granted, some people had too many other engagements like sports, school politics, religious activities etc. But most of the people that always complained were those that do not take part in extra curricular activities; they still don't attend night classes.

On my part, I went to school daily primarily to make money. I made a lot of money in school. I only attended lectures where it was impossible for someone else to write attendance for me (why should I sit down and be watching you read out materials I have already bought from you; uninteresting information I could easily get online?) I had no note throughout my stay in school. I paid no dime to any lecturer and I had only one carryover. Yet I came out with good grade.

The curriculum is broken down in such a way that it should be easy for everyone. All you need to do is: get your course outline in time, get necessary materials, have an overview of the course and follow up with every instruction you're given... You're good to go.

I studied Education History /International Studies by the way.

Nigeria school is stressful. From cramming to archaic syllabus and deliberate wickedness from lecturers is enough reason to make it stressful. I have seen people leave obsolete lives just to get first class and still ended up with nothing and still job searching. School can not make you know how to make it in this life and this is the biggest stress

See the course u studied, Education history.

I'm a Pharmacy student, and from the experiences so far, I can categorically tell you that school is super stressful!..

I am naturally not the type to discriminate any course but we all sincerely know that studies in faculty of education of any school is a piece of cake.

Ever wonderd why students "deported" from other faculties are dumped there?

I could remember a certain chemistry course we took, all the lectures in the department taught us, each released his/her own material. A certain lecturer who took the course for close to 2 months taught us almost everyday of the week and released a new material per class.

Or is it another that almost every lecture in my department took, each releasing their set of materials.

Tell me, how do you study such materials on your own? Some had up to 200 pages, I'm not exaggerating!

There was a time we registered 27 unit courses out of a possible 28.

There was a time we did 2 4-unit courses in a semester.

There was a time Computer science students had to leave out a course in order not to exceed the stipulated 28 unit course registration limit.

Why don't you study a core science course for example and see if you'd still have the gut to write such a thread?

It's funny how everyone of you think because it's education, it's easy. Laughable! Now let me make it clear to you. Being an Education student simply means that you study teaching methodologies of a particular field of learning. For example, if you're studying Education History, in addition to covering History curriculum, you equally cover Education curriculum.

Somebody above is berating the study of History. If you're opportuned to study it, you might still end up with 3rd class. That Education is attached to it doesn't mean you won't cover all the aspects of the course which include, among others, History, archeology and international studies.

The same way you all shout that school is stressful is the same way people in Education and every other faculty complain. To be candid, Education students have more work to do that their counterparts in other faculties. NCE students at some points do 24 to 27 courses per semester.

I have discovered two reasons why many people complain of school stress. One is that they just join the bandwagon to justify their irresponsible attitude towards learning. The other is that they approach school with anxiety especially if they are studying courses that do not match their intelligence.

How do you expect school not to be stressful when you're studying a course with O'level and JAMB results with results gotten from special centers? I mean, you couldn't pass your subjects at O'level without malpractice, and now you want school to be easy to you?

I told you guys that I made a lot of money in school. How? One of the things I did was writing term papers and seminars for people. In social sciences, you hardly get questions that you can just go to internet and download the answers. Those of you in natural sciences, especially biology, you can easily download an answer from internet especially on theoretical subject matters. But that is not the case with social sciences where most questions are critically analytical. So must be able to think in practical ways to be able to put together something meaningful.

Most students shouting "school is stressful" couldn't do such rigorous mental exercises because they apparently passed their O'level without effort. Let me stop here for now.

If you're pharmacy inclined, studying pharmacy should not be stressful to you. Art inclined students will be stressed out if they venture into science studies, vice versa. If you are admitted into studying something you don't have foundation for, you will experience great deal of stress.

Those days in school, natural science (a general course) was a great deal for most students in non science departments. Likewise, social science (a general course) was a very big deal for science students.

Do you understand my point now?

If it wasn't easy, the OP wouldn't have the gut to write such trash.

For me and my fellow metabolites, school was stressful as fuckkk.

Forget the fact that you are brilliant or not.

You wrote this a year ago but it's still bullshit!

Faculty of Education is the easiest faculty in any school, followed by faculty of Agriculture.

Try to study from a rigorous faculty and see whether your story won't change.

As someone doing Computer Science Education in lasu, it's almost the same with regular computer Science. Then add the teaching methodologies, coding events and internship I got in.

You are deceiving yourself and you know it.

Computer science education is easier than pure computer science.

Not really, as it depends on various factors including the individual. But course work wise in "LASU" the difference is little
