Stress

Stress kills. Don’t believe me? Check this out: http://www.livescience.com/health/080115-stress-kills.html. Do you know where you can get a large dose of this killer? Yeah, that’s right, school. So, taking the facts (1) stress kills and (2) school gives stress, gives us (3) SCHOOL KILLS. 

From some stupid test, to worrying that you’ll get a detention for forgetting something you were supposed to bring, there is an overwhelming amount of elements that school procures to cause “deteriotation in everything”. We all felt stress at some point in our “education”. Some more than others, but it remains that stress is a predominate component of our “growing up” and it increases as we progress through school, which in turn decreases our test results. 

I wouldn’t have devoted an entire post for this issue because stress is common in an adults life and school would be basically giving practice for this situation, but when you are an adult and you are stressed, there’s good reason. Like meeting a deadline, but not knowing what to write can result in you being fired. What about school? What possible reason is there for increasing the chance of you aquiring “the common cold to cancer”? Getting a good mark in that astronomy test? Even though I know everything about astronomy, assuming I didn’t, I wouldn’t risk my well-being over a Seyfert galaxy or a supercluster.

Of course, near the end of your schooling, those test results matter, but they shouldn’t. School should be about self development, not forcing inert facts down a childs mouth, who, if doesn’t remember it, gets pushed down the metaphorical hill to privation.
