I find my school to be quite challenging for average students. My public high school is extremely rigorous, with all core subjects offered at the honors level, and there are no non-honors options for science and English. Most students are placed in math classes that are 1-2 years ahead of their grade level, and the lowest level is referred to as “sped math.” While I personally manage well academically, I believe this creates a very toxic environment for those who are not high achievers. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
my school sucks for average students
It sounds like you’re in a really intense academic environment, and I can see how that would feel overwhelming for many students. While it’s great that you’re able to thrive in that setting, it’s definitely concerning to hear that average students might feel left behind or pressured. It often creates a competitive atmosphere where not everyone can succeed at the same level, leading to stress and anxiety.
I think it’s important for schools to provide a range of classes that cater to different learning styles and abilities, as every student deserves the chance to learn and grow at their own pace. Have you considered bringing this up with teachers or school administrators? Maybe sharing your concerns could help spark changes that would make the environment more supportive for everyone. You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way!
