PARENT: It’s okay if you are not good in science or math. Those subjects are hard. HOWEVER, you better get high marks in English and History.

Where does a phobia in STEM come from? Why is okay not to be good in STEM, but one must excel in English and history?

I agree. Science encompasses all fields of study.

100% agree. If you know science, you can learn anything.

Science incorporates math, reading, writing and social studies.

Maybe it’s because it’s not taught in an accessible way so parents are remembering how difficult it was to understand it in a concrete way and think they can’t help their students learn at home.

We tell students who have a hard time reading to read more and you’ll get better. (Practice practice practice)
I tell my students if they have a hard time doing math then they should math more. Just like anything else in life.

Practice makes permanent

I got an offer from Thoughtworks GGN as a lead consultant. Being a mother, I have anxiety about joining TW, since it is service based.

1. Bcoz of the recession and hiring is not for specific project, is it the right time to join TW or is it risky w.r.t job security?
2. How flexible is TW for WFH or it depends on the client?
3. How is WLB?

Please help..
