Students are more stressed, according to them, it’s because teachers give too much work and exams in too little time. Some of them feel like there is too much pressure, not only do the teachers put pressure on them, but they also put pressure on themselves to succeed. This constant pressure creates a stressful classroom environment where students do not always feel comfortable.

Many students admit to having difficulty managing their time. They find it hard to find a balance between their school time and their personal time. Some of them put school before anything else, which makes them feel like they don’t have a life outside of school.  This instability can lead to anxiety and burnout, which can reduce their overall well-being.

Even though students are in a rush to finish school, they have difficulty staying motivated. Despite everything, a small minority of them are very motivated to finish school. Teachers have noticed that students are less disciplined: They forget their material more often, and they stop doing their homework. This lack of discipline is also explained by accumulated mental tiredness and the feeling that the effort made is not always recognized or is useless.

School pressure makes nights more difficult, many students have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. They go to bed later to finish their studying and homework.  Tiredness is noticeable in class, where students have difficulty staying focused or even staying awake.

According to an exempted student, ” I feel like I have already put all the effort during the school year and the end of the year review I am doing now is pissing me off.”

Students aren’t the only ones who find the end of the year hard; teachers do too. They have a lot of copies to correct, and they feel that students are not motivated enough anymore. Many have noticed that there’s a kind of loosening up for both students and teachers.
