text: Many students dislike school because of the unnecessary and excessive stress they say it creates, however, whether it be online or in person, stress is something you cannot escape. Online schooling will not eliminate a students workload which is a main contributor when it comes to stressed out students, and while it may decrease their workload, once they enter college they may then not know how to manage their assignments properly. Society also places high expectations on students to excel in grade school so they can get into top colleges and be set to live successful and fulfilling lives when they enter the work force. These expectations do not change for students who participate in online schooling so the pressure they feel to succeed is not lessened. High school juniors and seniors often feel overwhelmed by the rigorous journey that is college preparation which is why they are said to the most difficult years of grade school. Any individual planning to attend college must go through this draining process and manage the difficulties that come with it. Therefore, this stress is an inescapable part of school and is not exclusive to any one type of learning.
