Our high school kids: tired, stressed and bored

Every time someone asked me how I felt after school in high school, I would always reply with tired, bored, or stressed. The way students are taught nowadays is so inactive that they start getting lazy in their own lives. Kids that are taught that school is everything are often unhappy in life. One solution would be to make schools more active and create more activities for kids to do rather than sit and listen to lecture 7 hours a day/5 times a week.

Maybe this is possible
