Do students have the coping mechanisms for the pressures of exams? accompanied by the forum page.
Summary of Discussion
Discussion was very positive and almost everyone agreed that this is a problem within education. It is something that higher powers need to address, and quickly. Different tweeters had varying opinions on how this should be done, some suggesting that training should be done with pupils from outside agencies, others suggesting we adopt strategies used in different countries. Surely it is the job of educational psychologists and child psychologists to design and implement these. Entering pupils for exams too early was also a topic that was brought up by one user. Overall a great discussion and one that I enjoyed.
