Our children feel stressed out because of an educational system that actually uses stress as an educational technique. Its a constant pressure of homework deadlines， essays and exams. And our children are told at a young age that failing a test means that they are failures in life. Theyll end up nowhere if they dont pass this or that exam. Our educational system is based on a western idea that life is a struggle. Its survival of the fittest. There is some truth to this， but not as much as people think.

Our ancestors didnt develop a constant stress environment. At that time， stress came quickly and was over quickly. It wasnt like the stress of modern education. Stress was originally just a short-term biological response to danger；however， the constant stress of modern education rarely stops. Its long term， at least ten years and usually more.

Recent research has shown that the neurological （神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的） response to stress is the same response that is found in depression. So， whats the solution？ A number have been proposed， including but not limited to the following.

________. Exercise consumes energy that would otherwise build up in the stress response and could cause physical and mental problems.

Teach relaxation exercises. Allowing the mind and body to relax cuts off the stress response and reduces the neurological tiredness， enabling the individual to recover at least somewhat.

Pay attention to thinking. Training the stressed student to pay attention to his or her own mind to a point where he or she is sufficiently aware to shut off the stress response when necessary.

Of course， theres a logical answer to the problem. Just rearrange our teaching methods to encourage， rather than prevent， the natural curiosity and joy in learning that we are all born with. This would remove the stress and probably cut learning time in half.
