Overburdened, Overwhelmed.
Hardy, Lawrence
American School Board Journal, v190 n4 p18-23 Apr 2003
Health professionals concerned about children's mental health say schools have become more stressful places and that many students cannot handle the pressure. Factors contributing to students' stress include high-stakes testing, fear of failure, parent pressure, and large impersonal schools. To combat the effects of a large school, Venice High School in Florida grouped 9th-graders into 5 teams of about 90 students each to go through school as a team. (MLF)
