BAD TIME MANAGEMENT

Education has played a big role in our life and we have taken at least 12 years of schooling. To be successful in education, one of the factors for everyone is time management. Good time management eases the learning process in school. However, bad time management of students, teachers, and school managements result in bad reputation of the whole school.

First of all, every teacher certainly has had bad time management in their own schedule. Bad time management of the teachers usually comes from their personal problems. The teachers may get busy with their personal meetings and cancel class without prior notification. This doesn’t mean the teachers haven’t known the schedule in the school or university but sometimes they have sudden meetings outside school or university, like at companies. It is not unusual that the cancellation is only announced approximately several hours before starting the class. However, a truly good teacher will usually tell the students a few days earlier if there are any changes to the usual schedule.

Second, some students also have bad time management. Good students will never want to violate the own schedule, but that may not be the case for bad students. Bad students usually postpone every assignment and are undisciplined with own schedule. They have problems prioritizing. Every teacher in school or university always gives students assignments to practice at home, and bad students like to procrastinate before doing their assignment, prioritizing leisurely activities to their education.

Lastly, the school or university usually has a bad time management related to class and lesson schedule. Many things arise from such case, like clashes between one lesson and another, cancellations of class, or too many classes in the school. Clashes between one lesson and another often happen because the management at school doesn’t calculate the scheduling carefully. Cancellations of class always happen in every school or university and they cause the management of the school or university to replace the time on other days. Some schools or universities accept too many students who applied and thus the amount of classes may exceed the normal capacity that the school or university can handle.

In conclusion, we can easily see from these few examples the problems of time management in a school or university from the students, teachers, and school managements’ point of views. If all these three parts have a good time management, the whole school will benefit and gain a good reputation.
