Experience the Montessori difference!

Have you thought about the stress in your student's life? We often think that the pressure of school causes these stresses. I recently ran across something that caused me to reaffirm my belief in the necessity to reevaluate a student's life. Please review the information from the link below, it is taken from a high school entrance exam from 1885.
Beginning in the early 1960's our nation began a systematic lowering of the standards of our state and national tests. The minimum requirements for graduating from High School were lowered to what had previously been required of a fifth grader. This was all that is necessary for a current graduating senior!
It seems that academic expectations are not the source of our student's stress! Yet repeadedly, we see evidence that stress is really there. This stress is definitely affecting their academic achievement.
