What about school stresses you out?

We asked 30 San Francisco high school students about their opinions on the question above and these are the results:

Linda

"Nothing, I have nothing to worry about. My parents are happy as long as I do my best."

 

Paul

"Grades, oh, and being the best in the class. I like to compete. I like to be the best. I can't stand to see anyone above me, only equal to me."

 

Ray

"A lot of homework. No time to play. I get tired and if you don't do your homework, the teachers will punish you."

 

Lisa

"Homework and teachers. Teachers stress me out because they expect a lot. Homework is annoying and it wastes my time."

 

Kristin

"The teachers who are disorganized and can't handle their own class. Also when I have a lot of homework to do with no time to do it. I also get stressed when the teachers give you homework and they don't explain it until after they give you a test on it."

 

Judy

" Having to pay for classes, oversized classes, not getting enough attention, not understanding assignments."

 

Patrick

"School, School, School stresses me out. School."

 

Lisa H.

"Tests, quizzes, homework. Too much homework. Teachers not really understanding. Also when you ask them a question and they don't answer you."

 

Kenneth

"Teachers, teachers who don't collaborate with the students. The racist teachers and students."

 

Thomas

"Everything."

 

Deming

"Homework because it's hard."

 

Felix

"Homework, lots of homework, I want to do other stuff."

 

Mikki

"Grading, grades in general. Sometimes when your trying your hardest and you still don't get an A or a B. Then you feel stupid because you should be able to get an A or a B if you work hard."

 

Jason

"Tests."

 

Anita

"Hey! Work, homework. Because it's too much to do in too little time."

 

Marvin

"Work, homework, too much."

 

Pauline

"I like school better than home because at home you have to do homework but at school you don't have as much work to do. At school there is someone you can depend on but at home you're independent in your studies with no one to help you. Oh yea, also 300 point exams without help."

 

Kelsey

"Grades because everything depends on it, especially your future."

 

Jamie

"You. Just kidding. Homework, tests, and teachers. Because on one night you have no homework and the next day you have stacks of homework."

 

Patrick

"Studying for tests. Reading and girls."

 

Tommy

"Teachers who give you too much work and don't explain."

 

Jamie

"When you spend a lot of time on an assignment and teachers don't even read it and they just want to stamp it with out looking at it."

 

Michael

"I don't know. Homework. Sure. Because they're telling you to do something."

 

Ben

"Having a lot of homework. Large important tests. No no no no. Important tests that are important for the output only."

 

Michael

"Tests, homework, that's it."

 

Melissa

"Lots of homework can really get stressful but budgeting your time between school work and social life can get really hard."

 

Cassie

"Homework, projects on top of projects on top of projects on top of projects. If each teacher gives you a project then you'll have 7 projects on top of each other."

 

Lorna

"Class, college, homework, personal things like social life or family."

 

Jennifer

"Friends, people, going to class, teachers...basically if I didn't go to school I wouldn't have problems."

 

Benny

"Homework, I don't know. Do you have to write everything I say?"
