美国老师尤其在湾区pay的低，工作压力大。一天要教5学时。 上海重点中学老师只教2-3小时。 美国老师素质一般，进teacher‘school GPA常常只要2.5. 医学院3.5还进不了好的。 所以下意识中拿学生出气的不少（我孩子观察的）。这样问题就来了。

[Portion removed.] Academic stress. Always sleep-deprived. Clearly, a change is needed in PAUSD. I'm tired of hearing community college is okay, grades of B are okay, and AP classes are unnecessary. At other schools in the nation, APs are less rigorous, grades of As aren't rare. There are ways to teach students so they learn but are not tortured. Some teachers in PAUSD get it; some don't. They all need to get it. Reform now.

It is true that youth are more impulsive as the part of the brain involved in impulse control is not fully developed. So impulsivity often plays into the suicide of a young person.
