Every student dreams of an ideal school -a place where learning is engaging, teachers are supportive, and the environment is conducive to personal growth. However, reality often falls short of these expectations. A recent survey conducted among high school students revealed that only 30% feel their school meets all their desired criteria. The main concern for many is the lack of engaging teaching methods. Traditional lecture-based classes dominate, leaving little room for interactive and practical learning. Additionally, students expressed a desire for more extracurricular activities to foster holistic development.

Furthermore, the survey highlighted a need for better teacher-student relationships. Many students feel their teachers are detached and unapproachable, which hampers their academic and personal growth. On the infrastructure front, over 50% of the students felt that their schools lacked modern facilities, such as well-equipped labs and libraries. Safety and hygiene were also major concerns, with several students reporting inadequate measures in place.

Despite these shortcomings, some positive aspects were noted. A significant number of students appreciated the diverse cultural environment of their schools, which they felt enriched their learning experience. Nevertheless, it is evident that there is ample room for improvement to make schools more aligned with students' expectations and needs.

When you feel down, turning to self-help books might seem like a good solution. But new research suggests it probably won't make you feel much better. Consumers of self-help books are more susceptible to stress and show more depressive symptoms than those who don't read such literature, University of Montreal psychologists found.
This small-scale study was conducted on 30 people. Half of the participants said that they read self- help books and half did not. The self-help consumers were divided into two categories based on two broad types: problem-oriented self-help books that discuss the nature of personal challenges as well as means of addressing these challenges, and growth-oriented books that promote inspirational messages about life and happiness. All participants were tested for mental health traits like openness, self-discipline, depressive symptoms.

The results show that readers of problem-focused self-help books had the greatest depressive symptoms, while those who read growth-oriented material had greater stress reactivity - the tendency of our body to respond to stressful situations by releasing stress hormones, which can lead to changes in the body like faster heartbeat or increased blood pressure-than non-readers. To put it simply: those who read self-help books were more depressed and stressed out.
There's one important question here: does high stress reactivity and a tendency towards depression lead people to read self-help books, or does reading self-help books result in stressful or depressive feelings? Catherine Raymond, the study's lead author, said both are possible. "We would need to perform an experimental study to have an unequivocal answer for this question." Still, the results showed that reading self-help books did not correlate with qualities like self-discipline, emotional stability and self esteem. So even if reading those kinds of books isn't making things worse, it certainly doesn't seem to make things better.

"Readers should take time to inform themselves about the authors of the self-help books that they wish to read," Raymond said. "For instance, some self-help books that we call 'bibliotherapy books' are written by health professionals, clinicians and scientific researchers and contain scientifically proven facts about many subjects. We would suggest readers to go for these."
