<p>My English teacher said that the following statement is something that schools don’t want to hear about, since students are not supposed to make such judgements:
“By concentrating less on the insignificant assignments, I am able to focus more on the crucial tasks” - idea goes something like that</p>
<p>Would you say it is a general concerns or is it fine to say that you are good at managing your time by setting priorities well and allocating your resources accordingly? Or perhaps we are supposed to study everything as hard as possible like nerds, no matter what it is…</p>
<p>Your teacher is right. IMO, thats a terrible statment. Thats basically telling them that you could care less what your teachers say and will choose to do what you please. Its also syaing you don’t care about your subjects, but merely about the grade. It sends abd signals. Also, it sounds pompous…</p>
<p>Ok, thanks
And well, thats not exactly what i meant (the sentence is not an excerpt from the essay). Its not that i, say, dont do all assignments, its more of how much i work on them.
Anyways, whatever, thanks for clearing that up.</p>
<p>perhaps you can show it in a good light… maybe if you link that with something like science where you often neglect small things in favor of the bigger perspective… but then it’s upto you how you write it…
but as godwater said, it just might be detrimental to imply otherways…</p>
