Academics

According to the 2008-2009 Horatio Alger Association State of Our Nation’s Youth report, "nearly four in five (79%) high school students say that pressure to get good grades creates a problem for them.

The 2008-2009 report “is a comprehensive study of American high school students’ opinions, apprehensions and aspirations.”

As a high school teacher, I have witnessed the toll that academic pressure can take.
