I have always wondered about something as i went along through my studies. I was wondering what would happen if you isolated kids from the educational system and taught them at accelerated rates (say, expect them to learn in 1 year what they would normally learn in 2 or 3 years in a normal school)? I've always noticed that people are told what pace they need to go and for me, it seems like the only reason people believe they are being 'stressed' is because they are comparing their expectations to another class/person's expectations that are lower then their own. Is this just me or is there a psychological connection between how fast someone learns, stress, and what they perceive as base-line expectations?
