Gunn | Palo Alto Online published Friday a 4,000-word essay by an anonymous teacher at Gunn High School in Palo Alto. The essay discusses the pressures of high school and touches on the forthcoming suicide study in which Stanford is involved. “The summit of achievement seems to be higher, the trails to reach it fewer, the crevasses more frightening, the blizzards thicker, the equipment more complex, and Sherpas (despite the added cost to mom and dad) required in greater number,” the teacher writes. “And even to contemplate the race to the top is to squint upwards through the mists of higher rejection rates at universities and colleges and through the dimming dream of an inexpensive, state-sponsored higher education.”
