How did you "do school"?

"Doing School": How We Are Creating a Generation of Stressed-Out, Materialistic, and Miseducated Students ~ by Denise Clark Pope, 2001, education, 240 pages

Since this book is almost a quarter of a century old, I googled the author.  Her faculty page says that she is a senior lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Education.  This book follows five successful high school students in their often stressful journey through class work, grades, and tests, all of which contribute to the lack of performance of even our top schools, according to this author.

I was an adjunct professor at a couple of community colleges, so I was curious to see what Denise Clark Pope has to say about the students in this book.  The last chapter in the book is entitled The Predicament of "Doing School," followed by an epilogue and information about the students in her study.
