school struggle as an average students???
Answers
Answer:
We hear a lot about the stress that high school students are under. The pressure to get good grades, to achieve high test scores, and to participate in a wide variety of clubs and activities can be overwhelming. Because of the pressure to get into prestigious colleges and earn scholarships, we often associate high school stress with high achieving kids as opposed to average students. After all, these are the ones who are pulling all nighters, going to tutoring, and trying to juggle a hectic schedules.

However, in my experience as a teacher, I’ve found that there is another group of stressed out students whose school-related angst escapes the notice of many teachers and parents. Average students and under achievers are also under a tremendous amount of stress. But for these students, that stress seems to manifest itself in the form of apathy.
Imagine being an average student in a world of high stakes testing and grade-dependent accolades. The pressure to stand out and to be deemed advanced, gifted, or an honor students can begin as young as kindergarten. It’s no wonder that by the time some of these kids reach middle school they have opted to settle for good enough. Unfortunately, many of these students are capable of more, at least in some subject areas. But as they can never measure up to top students, they have long since quit trying.

Still worse off are the struggling students. These kids have grown up in a system that stresses college and career readiness. But they aren’t cut out for college (that’s okay, not everyone needs to be), and they can’t see how writing annotated bibliographies and solving quadratic equations is ever going to help them in a career. Often times these students just want to pass, get their diploma, and get on with their lives. They happily settle for Cs and Ds, just so they don’t have to retake any boring classes.
Unfortunately, I have not cracked the code on completely overcoming stress and apathy in high school. But there is something that I encourage all my average students to try to help alleviate the boredom or the feeling that they are just wasting their time.
