End Unnecessary stress in schools

I am a junior is high school.  I think that all people my age can relate to what I am about to say.  Schools today aren't teaching us valuable information.  They are teaching us what we need to know to make a good GRADE on testing for the state.  They teach us how to make good GRADES so we look good for college.   They teach us how to memorize information long enough for us to make a good GRADE on a test and then forget it the next day.  The stress we are under to make good GRADES, not to learn but to look good, causes so much anxiety and unnecessary rage.  We're surrounded by people telling us how important sleep is, yet we're assigned hours upon hours of homework that can keep us up past midnight. We receive so many heavy textbooks that it causes us back problems.  If we know that a certain subject is very difficult for us and ask to be in a standard class, as opposed to an honors class, in the next school year, our administrators tell us we can't because "it would look weird to colleges".  Now the information that we retain is very useful, but we don't tend to retain much due to the way we are taught.  It's those few teaches that use fun things to teach the class and that relate the subject to us, that are able to teach us in a way that we won't forget.  By signing this petition you are saying "Let's end the unnecessary stress caused by the schooling system and start to establish a new way of teaching and new grading standards across the country".  Thank you.
