Education in recent years has had its meaning twisted.
It used to be about the pursuit of knowledge, now it is about passing standardized tests.
My grades were pretty bad in the early years of high school.
However, I soon realized grades directly correlated to how much free time I could get in life.
Everybody doesn’t care what a straight-A student does as long as they continue to get straight-A’s.
The contradictory issue was, to become a straight A student, I had to give up my free time to study!
So, I started thinking, was there a way if I could get better grades but not study so much?
That was my very first experiment, learning how to study.
Awareness of the problem.
Obviously, I had a problem. Society wanted better grades so I had to give them better grades.
But I didn’t want to waste time on pointless things
I wanted to study using less time but get better grades.
This was a time where students believed the more effort, the better grades.
