students’ stress levels during the last week of school
Does the duration of school matter for stress levels?
As students end their school year stress for many has been off the charts because of everything from essays to maintaining grades. Katie Gomez (22) said, “I have so much to do and I can’t go to work because I have to stay home and focus on my schoolwork.” Many students have to deal with work outside of school that could cause great stress as well. New studies show that kids in remote learning have a harder time than kids who are in school. This is possibly because there are far more distractions at home than at school and receiving help is not so easy. Email is the same as raising hand’s in class but it takes more time and seems like it puts students at a disadvantage.
Conner Fisher states, “I am trying to bring up my grades while I’m writing my essays. It’s the stressful man.” Students find the last couple of weeks the most difficult.
