Today's form of stressful education causes many problems to students ?

Myself, being a student in Korea, feel that the education that we receive today are giving
us lots of mental stress.
In Korea here, there are many cases of students committing suicide. And the reason is
common and usual: STRESS!
Now I am writing an essay on how should a society improves his education system so as
to create a holistic system for all students.
So hoping you to give me some ideas... ^_^

yeah man, I totally agree with you. I feel like the students have been put under too much
pressure. There's too much emphasis on the importance of education which can be
beneficial sometimes but can also cause unnecessary burden to the students. Even the
teachers show no mercy to the students. The process of learning is supposed to be
interesting and the purpose is to improve the quality of the students' lives, not imposing
too much stress on them, to the extent that they're not able to take it that they resort to
committing suicide to escape from this harsh reality. Parents also exert very high
expectations on their children They want their children to succeed academically that
they're willing to fork out large sums of money to hire professional tutors to educate their
children at home. This will only make the students much more exhausted because they
spend huge amount of time studying3x, whether at school or at home. Plus they have to
chase deadlines , study for exam, work on their presentation skill. School has definitely
taken huge portion of their lives and as a result , they hardly have any time left to spend
with their families or engage in some recreational activities that can take their mind off
their heavy workloads. This is a very common phenomenon.

I guess teachers at school should emphasize to their students that the purpose of gaining
knowledge does not equate to getting good grades or the prospect of securing good jobs
in the future. While it's true that the standard of living is high and one could barely
survive if he/she is not equipped with any necessary talents,abilities or highly-qualified
cert ,especially if we live in a meritocratic society. But worldly needs will not suffice the
students as it will not bring true or eternal happiness in their lives. While money is
definitely one of the basic necessities in everyone's lives, young or poor, but it does not
equate to happiness. There are so many rich people living in insecurity all their lives
simply because many people are not happy with their wealth and achievement. They live
in misery most of the times.

Secondly, the teachers should reduce the workloads of the students so that they are able
to spend some times doing activities that they like.
If their mind is too preoccupied with school work, they will get carried away with their
assignments and become stressed out and thus, will not lead a very healthy lifestyles.
Educate does not mean that teachers should exert too much pressure onto the students.
They need to learn how to balance between school work and other commitments.
Needless, time management is one of the most important aspect in everyone's lives. If
they are able to engage in healthful or therapeutic activities after schooling hours, like
sports or shopping, something to take their mind off homeworks and stuff, then they are
able to perform effectively at school. they are able to focus more . Studies should be
taken seriously but it should not cause any unnecessary stress and pressure to the
students. Also, there should be freedom of choices. students should be able to pursue
their studies based wholly on their interest. If they hv to study things that they don't like,
then there is no use. People who are passionate about art should not take up banking
courses because obviously, it would only cause him more stress in the future as he has to
take up job that he hates . so that's pretty much it, i guess.
Education Problems in Public Schools
Public schools have certain educational problems in comparison with private schools.
Let's look into some of the facts regarding education problems in public schools.
FPRIVATE "TYPE=PICT;ALT=Education Problems in Public Schools"Public schools
are different from private schools, in terms of their funding and administration. Public
schools receive most of their funds from the state or federal government; whereas private
schools rely on private sources, such as donations and organizations for their funding.
Though, most public schools are administered by local governments; the overall funding
is contributed by the local, state and federal governments. Private schools are under the
control of a private body or a charitable trust.
In the United States, public school education is more common than private education, and
about 90 percent of children attend public schools. Basically, there are three stages in a
public school, namely, primary or elementary school (kindergarten to 5th grade), middle
school or junior high school (6th to 8th grade) and high school or secondary school (9th
to 12th grade). The policies for each stage are set by the board members, elected under
local jurisdiction.
Education Problems in Public Schools
The first and foremost educational problem of public schools is the larger school size and
student population. On an average, most public schools are twice the size of private
schools. According to a study, public schools have an average of 16 students per teacher,
whereas private schools have an average of 13 students per teacher. This may be due to
free education offered in public schools. Whatever may be the reason, students of public
schools receive less individual attention, as compared to private school students.
Since public school education is free, the academic curricula and programs may not be as
refined as those of private schools. Usually, they offer the same programs and
standardized tests for all the students. In short, what the students learn in public schools is
decided by the state. On the other hand, private schools offer alternative curricula and
have their own assessment system.
In public schools, all the students get admission, irrespective of the student's talent. They
cannot deny any student who has applied for admission. Sometimes, this may result in a
slow learning pace for the talented students. On the other hand, private schools have full
authority to reject a student who is not up to the mark. Hence, many a times, private
schools perform better in standardized achievement tests.
Another educational problem of public schools is higher rate of violence and student
dropout. It is due to the fact that public schools accept all students, irrespective of their
behavior and talent. Whereas in case of private schools, they select students on the basis
of their assessment, thus resulting in a safer environment. However, in order to clear your
doubt, you can always check for previous records and school rankings before sending
your child to any of the public schools. You can also meet the principal for a better
perspective, regarding the safety, and the rules and regulations of the school.
Though public schools have some educational problems, there are certain advantages of
public school education. Since the student populace is more in public schools, exposure
to various kinds of people from different socio-economic backgrounds, teaches students
to get along with people, irrespective of their social status.
In spite of these general educational problems in public schools, a study has revealed that
students of public schools get better grades in college than those in private schools.
Hence, before enrolling your child to any of the schools, it is always better to analyze the
pros and cons of both private and public schools. You can opt for a school, which will
best meet your child's interests and suit his/her abilities.
Multimedia Presentations & Television ProgramsMultimedia presentations and
education-oriented television programs in the classroom can provide a large amount of
information in a relatively compressed period of time. The integration of audio and video
makes studies more interesting, and information easier to digest. Multimedia computer
systems offer presentations that integrate materials in a variety of formats, including text,
graphics, animation, audio, and video. Multimedia delivery is also widely available on
CD-ROMs and through the internet and online services, as well as through the more
traditional television interface. To learn more about the ways that multimedia
presentations and education television can be integrated into the classroom, browse the
