I chose this image for "Why Don't Students Like School" because it seemed to represent the typical teenager plagued by frustration, hopelessness, and general teenage angst. Today's student faces pressure beyond academics; many struggle with social and emotional issues along with the responsibilities of jobs and extra-curricular activities. When you pile on an ever-changing curriculum that tries to keep up with evolving technology and take into account the teenage brain that seems to be more hard-wired for sleeping than thinking ...yikes! It's no wonder teachers face a room full of students who ask, "Why is this important? How am I going to use this in the future?"
