30 assignments due. College applications. Tests on the daily. Multiple tasks. Only one student. Overwhelmed and stressed, every student is trying to raise their heads above the flood of never-ending school work. With this in mind, North Penn High School teachers shared what they wish they knew in high school with hopes that it could help alleviate some of this stress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This advice is meant to help students hone in on what is most important, coming from someone who has been in their shoes and succeeded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shannon McCracken: Anatomy 1 and 2 teacher<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the “stuff” I didn’t think I would need I actually do need as an adult! I didn’t enjoy math when I was in school and I struggled with it. I didn’t think I would need it but as a homeowner, you use a lot of math!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Daniel Huston: Pre-Calculus teacher<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summer Sieller: English 10 and Women’s Voices teacher<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jennifer Ruppel: Chemistry teacher<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI stressed a lot about grades in high school, and while they are important, I worried way too much about the little things. I always tried my best, and wish I wasn\u2019t so hard on myself. \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n

Christina Greenwood: Algebra and Trigonometry teacher<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSome of these people will remain your best friends, but the other truth is that you will never see or talk to many of these people again.\u00a0 Remember, friends come and go.\u00a0 And that is okay!!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
