For years, the public education system has significantly shaped our society. It not only imparts essential knowledge for daily functioning but also broadens our horizons by uncovering various opportunities through the exploration of discovered passions.
Unfortunately, this positive impact doesn’t extend uniformly to everyone, with challenges persisting throughout one’s school journey. Over time, educational standards have escalated, leading to heightened stress and anxiety among students during their formative years. The intensifying pressure often results in distorted mindsets, and, tragically, some students may even view sickness or death as preferable to enduring the educational rigors.
The information presented to students isn’t always practical or relevant, often revolving around intricate equations and mandatory subjects that demand rote memorization for exams.
Consequently, students grapple with mounting anxiety, hindering their ability to explore interests and absorb valuable lessons crucial for thriving in today’s society. Some receive limited support from their parents who may not fully comprehend the challenges faced by their children in this demanding educational environment.
