Yale Study: Vast Majority of High Schoolers Unhappy at School<\/strong><\/a> — from fee.org by Kerry McDonald
\nThe Yale findings echo previous conclusions about young people\u2019s attitudes toward school.<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Most high school students are not happy at school. A new study by Yale researchers finds that nearly three-quarters of high schoolers report negative feelings toward school. The study surveyed more than 20,000 high school students in all 50 US states and found widespread dissatisfaction at school across all demographic groups, with girls reporting slightly more negative emotions than boys. According to Yale co-author Zorana Ivcevic,<\/p>\n

It was higher than we expected. We know from talking to students that they are feeling tired, stressed, and bored, but were surprised by how overwhelming it was.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nIf you were to have polled him during his ninth through eleventh-grade years, our son would have been one of the very disgruntled students going through high school. His senior year was spent doing exactly what he wanted to be doing<\/em> — and he was much happier, more engaged, and more motivated to learn the material. He was also around an entirely different student body his senior year — where students were there because they wanted<\/em> to be there and they were all pursuing their craft. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fast forward a couple of years, and he actually enjoyed a good deal of his learning experiences this summer and he’s really looking forward to his film and acting classes this fall. It’s amazing the amount of energy and determination\/interest that gets unleashed when the motivation is intrinsic<\/em>.
