Topic 1: The Big Question

PAS can be looked as an economy. Everyone at Pas can serve as produce and consumer. So what is what or the goods and services that are produced? The goods and services are the lectures, lessons, and information given in classes. PAS, as a school, provides the environment for the students to learn and for the teachers to lecture. Therefore the producers can be both the teachers and the staffs who run the school. The teachers write lesson plans for the lectures and the office gives the instruction on how the lessons should be lectured. This explained how the goods and services produced. Students receive these goods and services, which is the education and information they get from the teachers. These goods and services allow students to know more about various subjects even though the subjects might not be applied in the real life. Since PAS, unlike other schools in Taiwan, is not governed by a group of people, there is only one person who is in charged of all what, how, and for whom goods and services get produced. This person is the head of the school. Everything even small an action is controlled by her.

I feel like that the choices made in this school are both self-interest and social interest. For example, the school wants more people to come to this school by helping students to get into good universities. The school gains profit by using students. However, students also gain the goods provided from the school in order for them to get into good colleges.
