Participants explore the balance between academic responsibilities and personal time, including sleep, social activities, and holidays.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant outlines a detailed breakdown of a typical academic year, suggesting that students have very little time left for studying after accounting for various daily activities and holidays.
  • Another participant questions the calculation of time spent on activities, suggesting that some days may have been counted more than once.
  • Several participants express differing views on the necessity of sleep, socializing, and relaxation, with some claiming that these should be minimized in favor of studying.
  • Some participants share personal anecdotes about their own study habits, indicating a willingness to sacrifice leisure time for academic success.
  • A few participants humorously downplay the importance of birthdays and relaxation, suggesting that studying takes precedence.
  • There are conflicting opinions on the amount of sleep students should get, with some jokingly suggesting unrealistic sleep schedules.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

How Can A Student Pass?

It's not the fault of the student if he fails, because the yearONLY has
365' days.

Typical academic year for a student:

1. Sundays-52, Sundays in a year, you know Sundays are for rest. Days
left 313.

2. Summer holidays-50 where weather is very hot and difficult to
study.Days left 263.

3. 8 hours daily sleep- 130 days GONE. Days left 141.

4. 1 hour for daily playing- (good for health) means 15 days. Days left 126.


5. 2 hours daily for food & other delicacies (chewing
properly & swallowing)-means 30days. Days left 96.

6. 1 hour for talking (man is a social animal)-means
15 days. days left 81.

7. Exam days- per year at least 35 days. Days left 46.

8. Quarterly, Half yearly and festival (holidays)-40 days.Balance 6 days.

9. For sickness- at least 3 days. Remaining days=3.

10. Movies and functions - at least 2 days. 1 day left.

11. That 1 day is your birthday.
How can you study on that day?!
Balance = 0

thx Klusener...i don't know where to put where..by the way i study in 9th standard.
 
Revise in your holidays and exam days, that's what i did. And I don't take sick days, and as a student I'm too poor to afford movies.

Also did you subtract your sleep, eatting and sundays etc from your holidays? If so, then you've subtracted the same day twice :P
 
It's easy, students don't get weekends and holidays off, you don't get to sleep, and who told you you could socialize? Get back to studying! :smile:

I have a birthday?

Really, i don't consider birthdays a big deal. More often than not i only know its mine because someone else tells me.
 
I had seven hour labs on my birthday, with a 1 hour test. So no, you can't not study on your birthday.

In elementary school I was sent to the office for doing nothing. People working there ask me why my teacher sent me. I say "I did nothing." My teacher comes in and she is asked why I was sent, she replies "He didn't do his homework." Like I did anything :smile:
