Topic 2: Scarcity at School?

People are always making decision about which one to choose when they are facing different type of scarcity. People in PAS also face scarcity all the time. For example, students in PAS may face scarcity when they are picking their classes. They may be picking between P.E. and expository writing. They have to give up when in order to take another. For example if the student takes P.E., then he can’t take expository writing class. Another example is that teachers will face scarcity when they are thinking about if they shall teach an extra class or not. If the teacher teaches an extra class that means that they can get extra money from them but the trade off for making that choice is the teacher need to spend more time and energy for that extra class.

        Example about me is when I am making a choice between taking an extra AP class or not. At choose to take an extra AP class which is AP computer science because I think I can handle it and I can get a study hall if I take it. The trade off of taking AP computer science is that I give up P.E. class and need to work harder for the AP test. The resources that I want more are classes which either are honors or AP, or classes that can easily get a high GPA. However there are two reasons that keep me from getting what I want. The first reason is that my ability is limited, I can’t handle if I take too much AP or honor class. Second reason is that we need to full fill the prerequisite of college, this mean that we need to take different type of class for certain years in order to get into colleges or universities.
