Stress and learning

Have you ever been to stressed out to learn?  Yes, we’ve all been there.  For me, it was middle school math.  As a student who did not excel in algebra, I was the one who would hold up class trying to grasp a concept, and learned it was easier for the class if I just fell behind.  The problem became that I remained behind, and could not figure out how to complete the problems from home. 

Panic and stress became a part of my math experience.  I became convinced I could not learn that particular subject matter.  I fiercely wish that having an understandable, comprehensive lesson to rewind had been a part of my learning experience.

  This article was interesting to me about both teacher and student stress:
