nowadays, there is too much pressure in secondary school. what do teachers and school react about this?

Answer 1

Before the 1950's, secondary students were expected to know a lot, they new as much or more as a "First Year College Student" of today.
They did not have all the psycho-babel that convinced students that they could not perform, or that too much school work was being given to them.
A student was expected to perform and they did! Their performance in secondary school would determine if they got into college, a university; or not!
The standards for entering collage or a university were very high back then.
Most of the "people" who have a degree in one field or another today would not of been able to pass the entrance exam based on the high standards!
Back then they did not have as many libraries or as many books as we have today, they didn't have the Internet for that matter. . They had limited copies of books and school supplies, but yet they excelled in their studies. Ask your great- grandparents, or any one who went to school before the 1950's.
Let's take a look at countries like China, Japan, Cuba, or Russia etc., The students are expected to exceed in school, and they performed, for only 1/3 the cost.

The moment you put the idea into someones head that they cannot perform,, they believe it and give you very little in return; with a lot of complaining, because that is what you expected from them!.

I did a research paper for my Bachelors in Science, on comparisons of the public school system of the US and other countries; from the 1800's, 1900-1950 (that seemed to be a turning point for the US), 1960's to 1986, and the findings would shock you!
The US exceeded in everything until the 1950's, then China, Japan, and Russia started to take the lead. Why? Based on my research the changes that occurred during that time were; Unions, ACLU, NAACP and Psychologist had bigger roles in public education system, and "mothers" were not home. When this happened, it had a direct effect on the public education system; and our standards went down.
The thing that surprised me the most was the involvement of the Unions, the ACLU, the NAACP and Psychologist in the schools! What was their involvement in the education system? They encouraged "rebellion" through the legal system, the courts!
Do some research for your self. Look into the old curriculum for Primary and Secondary Schools from the; 1800's, 1900's, and the 2000,s. Believe me, get ready for the shock of your life. Then look into the involvement of these groups in the education system in the 1950's, What did you find? Amazing! HUH!!!
You will not hear about these findings very much, because it is not in the best interest of those involved in "Dumming Down America". Look for yourself!

Answer 2

Well, I do kind of agree. My final year of high school (6 years ago) was one of the most stressful times of my life. It wasn't unusual for me to work until 9 or 10, come home, do homework until 2 or 3 and wake up at 5 to finish it. Between the advanced classes, clubs/ extracurriculars, filling out college apps, work and family, I was extremely stressed and tired all the time. But it sets the stage, so to speak, for college. And then college is sometimes easier than high school!

I think that is why college students are so ready to party and have their fun in college because there is such emphasis on doing well in HS to find a good college, you don't really have the drive to do so well in college. I know this is kind of what happened to me, especially in my first and second years of college. In the US, young adults put off responsibility until their late 20s a lot of times--perhaps as a result of the pressure felt in their teens.
