Did you know that stress shuts off learning?
This statement is so broad that I think it is incorrect. One reason for formal education -- schools and colleges -- is to impose a curriculum and schedule, grade and rank students, and thus impose a little stress. If my children never have any stress in school and especially college and are getting A's with little effort, they should be taking tougher classes.
Too much stress can impede learning. It would be a bad idea, for example, to tell a college student that she must get straight A's or lose financial support.
