I teach second grade and we're all struggling with how rushed the kids feel—they're anxious about timed tests, they bolt through creative projects, they can't settle into anything because they're so focused on what's next. As a teaching team we want to create more spacious time for learning but we're fighting against district pacing guides and parent expectations.
More people experience this than they realize.
Educators recognize that children need unhurried time to truly learn, but find themselves trapped between institutional demands and their students' wellbeing.
