Certain children are not meant for the big city, even if their parents are organizing and leading a fortune-five hundred company. Certain kids are not able to express their true feelings because they feel trapped by their parents who may pressure them to commit themselves to things they don’t appreciate. “Moreover (as documented by a great deal of research), because students are doing the work they do in and out of school for the wrong reasons; not because they are interested in learning -- the intense competition undermines their motivation to continue to learn for the sake of gaining understanding.” As analyzed by this reporter, he brings about the difficult decisions and actions that children must make or do to impress their parents, and in today’s society, it is very high because of the expectations. I believe a student can succeed and reach their potential in any school, no matter the name, if they make the best and put effort towards it. Instead, we work towards ‘putting our best foot forward’ by stressing, beefing up our resumes, joining pointless clubs to look ‘well rounded’, and taking classes that we’ll easily pass to boost our GPA. Children are forcing themselves into fields they don't like so they can get into colleges that force them even more into boxes they don't want to be in. We as students must realize that it is our first priority to receive a good education, and other things such as jobs, sports, and fun should be sometimes set aside as a second priority.
