[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And here is the problem. Once more the conversation has dissolved to focusing on college admissions as a measure of success/worth, and that is why these kids are stressed. [/quote] You are right. I guess some of us were just trying to make the point that sending your kid to a school with lots of rigor and more homework isn't the only path for your kid to get into a good college. [/quote] And the focus on college and points is the exact reason that stress has become problematic. Students have gone from seeing a grade as a reflection of the current quality of their work and a learning tool to seeing it as a sort of obstacle to their desired college. Every teeny assignment is a big deal because they think their life will be set on the wrong path if they don't get into the right college. And who is sending that message?[/quote]
