so then my question is, why is it necessary to turn a school into a pressure cooker? is there some reason you NEED to stress people out in order to educate them?
i wouldn't think so. i think the whole pressure-cooker-college culture is sick, and needs reforming. if i want an education, it isn't to prove i'm better than other people. i take grades as a sign of my own progress, not as a sign of how much better i am than other people.
it's no wonder education in america is going down the tubes. our priorities are way fucked up.
