I think one of the common problems of accounting especially today, when most procedures are done online, is data breach. Since most procedures are now done online, if you are not well armed in terms of cyb (1)

Aside from the day-to-day struggles of students in time management, procrastination, and study habits, I also feel concerned about the coming years. College entrance exams are said to be more mathematically and scientifically inclined which are topics that are not thoroughly discussed in the ABM strand. I dream of entering a prominent school but I worry that my chances of fulfilling this wish are lower because I am at a disadvantage.

It may be quite difficult to balance work and personal obligations, not just for ABM students but for everyone. Everyone is aware of how crucial time management is, especially in my current strand, which involves a lot of problem-solving and work connected to businesses. I frequently encounter concerns that deal with pressure in my strand. Pressure because as students studying ABM, we are constantly expected to be adept at math or, more generally, numbers. I honestly believe that in order to overcome that pressure, we should accept. Accept that it's alright if not everyone is gifted with strong mathematics abilities or skills of this nature. What matters is that we choose this strand because we are passionate about it and want to learn and understand it well for the benefit of our future.

Business is a difficult concept to implement when there are barely any people interested in the products you wish to establish. Another thing to remember is not knowing when we actually start gaining back the money and income we spent on establishing the business. The cycle of trends and the future are very hard to identify thus the outcome is very difficult to expect. Success is a very hard thing to determine and measure thus starting all over again is a plausible outcome and starting all over is a very costly process.

Not just ABM students, but everyone may find it challenging to combine job and personal obligations. Everyone understands how important time management is, particularly in my current role, which entails a lot of problem-solving and work related to enterprises. Pressure-related issues come up in my strand quite frequently.

I think one of the disadvantages of ABM students is that, we are expected to be great at solving equations or anything related to math. I was personally never great at math so upon choosing what strand I wanted, I wasn't to sure if choosing ABM was the right road. Also taking time management into account, the problems that may occur in your personal life as well. Thinking back to the start of the odl, many people found hard coping with their studies, finding it hard to separate your work life and personal life due to the pandemic.

My concern in the field of accounting is its real-life application. Why don't people, even accountants, use accounting in their day-to-day lives? Accountants are willing to give it their all and overwork themselves (another topic for another day) in their job, but then completely forget about it when shopping and paying the bills. It's a problem, a BIG problem that people don't observe, measure, and understand where, how much, and why they spend their hard-earned cash... Money matters. We need to measure it, so it gets managed, or it will manage us.

One of my concerns as an ABM student coming into the field is voters’ education. The government plays a very important role in our economy, and it is the people who are given the right to choose the right people for the job. Individuals in office have the power to directly affect our economy for the better and for the worse. Businesses, accountants, entrepreneurs and people of the sort are already worrying about our country’s economical status. What more to us students who aspire to take up careers in the business field, having to face inflations, requiring higher maintenance because of the rate of our depleting economy.

Students today deal with challenges on a daily basis, whether they are mental or physical. An abm student has many challenges, some of which include time management, problem-solving, and a lack of abm knowledge. The pressure and tension that the kids experience with their strand is one of the challenges. ABM students are constantly expected to be strong in math who manage all of their work and studies while managing personal issues. This is due to a lack of time to finish their assignments, an excessive amount of schoolwork, and unjust deadlines.

The pandemic presented us with difficult times as we continue to navigate the aftermath of its many challenges. Personally, I believe those most affected are our younger students. Some students still don't know how to express their feelings,or ask for help. Whether it's due to age or the inability to communicate difficulties encountered, they start to hold things inside. As we all know, unexpressed emotions can often start manifesting inwardly as anxiety and depression.

This is the case of a 5th grade girl I know, who had been thriving at school and earning excellent grades. Until, she came across a teacher with zero empathy. This teacher would berate their students, sometimes even going as far as to call their work "trash." Many of her classmates have been experiencing difficulties during the pandemic, and having a teacher like this has dimmed the excitement of learning. This teacher also shames individual students regarding their grades, assignments, and exams in front of the whole class. These acts of humiliation have caused stress and anxiety; especially for those students still struggling with virtual learning.

Hearing stories like this infuriates me and makes me want to ask this teacher; could it be that your students give you junk work because that is what you inspire by the way you teach? Have you ever asked yourself how you'd want to be treated, when being in the vulnerable position of trying to learn new skills and information?

Even if the student turns in unsatisfactory work, teachers do not have the right to expose and ridicule them in front of the whole class. This does not help them, and actually, does the quite opposite. It lowers their self-esteem. Fortunately, there is excellent communication between this student and her Mother. When her Mom noticed her daughter's changes (both emotional and academic) they began to talk about what this teacher had been doing to the class. Her Mom began to understand how bad it was, and how the teacher made her daughter feel. Her Mom was outraged by this treatment, and asked her daughter to put everything in writing.

The anxiety of this student was through the roof. After beginning therapy, her doctors confirmed the stress she was dealing with from this unprofessional teacher was unacceptable. One of the reasons I wanted to write this blog was to commend this excellent Mom, who observed the change in her daughter's behavior, and was attentive to her needs. The letter her daughter wrote was presented to her doctor, therapist, and the school principal. It caused an immediate change, and she was assigned to another class.
I understand you as a human being. I know that living in a pandemic has not been easy for anyone. I know this situation has not been easy to adapt to. I know that you have your own problems, difficulties, etc. But it's not your students fault, and the classroom is not the place where you take out your frustrations. I remind you that the teacher before imparting knowledge, must impart empathy and happiness.
To this Mother, I applaud you for getting your daughter out of this horrible situation. But I do wonder, what about the other students who continue to suffer in class with this teacher? These students probably don't know how to communicate problems to their parents, which can lead to anxiety, depression, and may even trigger suicidal ideation or attempts.

A special congratulations to this girl who acted with such maturity at her young age. It's important for her to know that writing this letter will help other students as well. As it was mentioned previously, the letter was presented to the principal of Ridge Crest MVUSD Elementary School (Moreno Valley Unified School District) and will be taken to the Superintendent of this district. Hopefully, for them, this is a wake-up call.

Below, I'd like to share the letter this brave girl wrote to her teacher:

How would you feel if your child wrote this about their teacher?

There is a great deal of expectation placed on ABM students to manage the stress and worry that come with studying business. The society in which we are raised serves as an inspiration that we all become successful business people, entrepreneurs, and owners. Many students who aspire to become business owners also face the challenge of juggling schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and other personal commitments. Innovation, marketing, time management, and technology can all add stress to running a successful business.

As an ABM student, one of the main concerns that I would like to address is about strand stereotyping. Here in our strand (ABM), it is frequently judged or discriminated as the easiest strand among all of the strands. Being part of the ABM strand, we are stereotyped to be inferior to the other academic track stands which is wrong and needs to be changed in a different way of perspective/understanding.

As a student in the ABM strand, I want to address why people still favor foreign brands rather than our own. Brands here in the Philippines are not given the chance to showcase what they are capable of simply because they aren't as widely marketed compared to international brands—making Filipinos, especially those who are in the upper class, prefer international brands. Coming into this field, I want to learn how to make people start choosing local products by learning the basics, technical terms, and business strategies that can help local brands.

I would say that one of my concerns in the field of Accountancy, Business, and Management is how social classes affect the business world. As to how the upper-class entrepreneurs are able to expand in a larger scale given that they have the privilege to be able to risk high and gain high in the business field. Whilst, the new entrepreneurs and those who are in the lower-class are not given the same advantage. This not only happens in one specific field or situation. To show you what I mean, it can also be when graduates from prestigious schools are given more job opportunities than those who barely pushed through their schooling due to their financial status.

As an ABM student, time management and mathematical computations are one of my personal concerns. Concerns about both specific skills stem from how closely tied the two of them ought to be to the ABM strand. Students who lack the aforementioned attributes would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage and experience greater challenges than their peers, but I'm confident that with enough determination and hard work, anyone can conquer their mountain.

ABM students face a variety of problems. The common concerns are having to deal with pressure, stress, anxiety and even depression. Because of the new environment that senior high school students face, they are still adjusting with the unfamiliar subjects that are added to their curriculum. Another concern that ABM students go through is the way people around them occasionally hold unfavorable misconceptions and think that learning the subject of accounting and business management is all about memorizing rules rather than developing critical conceptual and analytical abilities. But despite all of that, it might be difficult for someone to get past these unfavorable perceptions and preconceptions in order to pursue successful jobs such as becoming a professional accountant or a successful businessman.

ABM students deal with several difficulties and problems on a daily basis, including time management and the ability to look after my physical and mental well-being. Group assignments are one of my worries as a student because, as we all know, they occur frequently throughout the academic year and it can be challenging to work with people who don't get along. We need to work together to have a successful school year.

A problem I think that nowadays are common for people not just as ABM students is that are people are afraid to make mistakes, they always strive to be the absolute they can be, the best there is, the spitting image of perfection. There is no problem with this as I also desire to achieve excellence yet what the most do is that they ignore everything else that also matters like their sleep. Imagine an engine that is always hitting the redline of the tachometer, that is what I see mostly on my peers, they are afraid of one mistake. They are passing up a golden opportunity because the best teacher there is failure and even more so if you experience it first hand, it’s like you’re on a court side seat at basketball game. The point i’m trying to make is that people need to manage risks, and if you fail that’s alright, that is not the low point, the low point is being mediocre and does not have the discipline to try again. Excellence is not a star that goes supernova and the next moment it is merely darkness and destruction. Excellence is a consistent habit that even if there is no motivation whatsoever, one would keep going even if they feel that they haven’t achieve anything or felt empty, Excellence is discipline and discipline is where excellence will be born.

One of the specific problems that ABM students encounter is the difference between actual and theory. Since there are a lot of students that graduated from this strand,  the competition is so tight that only a few succeed on making it into a better working situation. Theories and actual experience differ in a sense of familiarity and the knowledge on different system that companies use now a days.  Companies prioritize applicants that has experience with computer softwares. This is one of the major problems that an ABM student and graduates encounter

As ABM student i would say my problem is Math because math is my weakest subject. and ABM strand is more on mathematical computation And How to manage my time properly. and lastly how to bring plan into action because some of us are afraid to fail because today's current society every body has something to say (and most of that are negative) that's why some of us are afraid to make a move.

For me being a student in ABM strand i worry about accountancy. Due to my sister who studied the same subject and told me it was difficult and I need to understand it more. And moreover managing work from other subjects and cases of technical error are also a concern especially the classes are online.

# data[].attributes.body
For me, if there is a specific problem, I would like to address in the ABM strand, it would be time management. Most ABM students, including myself and others in the ABM field, encounter difficulty balancing their work and personal responsibilities. I believe business is where a person needs a presence of mind to think and decide things thoroughly. As an ABM student who isn't good at math and procrastinates, time management is an important skill to be acquired and applied in this field.

Practicing or making a small business can help widen our knowledge in this class because the main concern in the field of business is some students doesn't have an idea to make a small business. By creating a small business we can have an idea to know how the system or how we are going to make money. I've also have an idea because I sell some stuff online and I've learned that to make money we must be strategic or have a promotion to sell our products easily.

Time management, problem solving, and schoolwork were discovered to be the most difficult challenges for ABM students. Furthermore, this study revealed that students experienced difficulties as a result of anxiety about the subject topics, with a lack of knowledge and solutions to the problem. As a result, their study habits are influenced by their difficulties. They are sometimes motivated to study more in order to overcome difficulties.

My understanding about accountancy, business and management is it teaches us the basic concept of financial management and accounting related transactions. My specific concern as a student who loves spending money on online shopping is budgeting. We all know that online shopping nowadays are booming. In our strand it's about management of money. As we all know when you become addicted to something it is hard to overcome. Online shopping tends to loose track at budgeting. It can be hard to deeply understand this strand if in our life budgeting is our weakness because of too much online shopping. Addiction to online shopping can be a real problem when it comes to real-life application of our strand.

My concern about taking ABM, what about the people who took this strand to learn and establish their business. establishing a business is like a risk with money, you are not sure if it will be successful or not. there will be ups and down, its like a gamble . you should know as a business owner to manage and to make your source of income stable.

As an ABM student, we have to deal with school works like math problems and business plans which take a lot of time and are most of the time given within the same week. Having to accomplish them before the deadline while maintaining a stable personal life can get impossible at times so being able to manage our time and staying organized is a necessity. Failure in managing our time can often lead to breakdowns and stress as our school works do not wait for free time assuming that they pile up if not done within the time frame.

As an ABM student, you need to learn how to manage your time, to have long-term patience, and to concentrate and focus on your studies. In ABM, you can explore more. You will learn more about how to manage your own business. You will have knowledge of what business you are going to start with and how to run your business. ABM is concerned with more than just how you will manage your business; it is also concerned with the payments you will make, the risks associated with business management, and how to make your business successful. Being an ABM student is challenging because you will learn the reality of life in this world. Gaining money is one of the main goals for most humans. For us to live in this world, we need to gain a profit, so as an ABM student, you will learn the basics of how to gain a profit at a young age, which for me is a good thing. You will instantly boost your earning potential. As an ABM student, you will immediately be equipped with skills and knowledge that will have an immediate impact on your existing business or business idea. That is really good for me for the future.
