Professor Martin's report says that children who attend a number of different schools, because their parents have to move around the country, probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.

　　The professor says, "It's true, my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or my assistants may have on the subject."

　　Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and him self a father of two, said," I've never heard such rubbish. Taking me for ex ample, no harm is done to the education of my children who change schools regularly－if they keep to the same system, as in our army schools. In my experience, I've known quite a few of them－Army children are as well－adjusted（调整）as any others, if not more so. What the professor doesn't appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situations children will adapt（适应）much better than grown-ups."

　　When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were backward or mentally affected in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency（倾向）.

　　"Our findings show that while the very bright child can deal with regular changes without harming his or her general progress in studies, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation."

Follow the following tips to reduce your stress to manageable levels!

    Avoid "Must" think. Let go of the idea that you must do something in a certain way—for ex-ample, "I must get a great score on a test, or else." This thought pattern only adds to the stress you'll feel. Evaluate your situation coldly and logically, and not as a "life or death" situation.

Watch the Mess. Don't study in a messy or cramped area. Clear yourself a nice, open space that's free of distractions.

Set Manageable Goals. Break large projects into smaller and doable parts and you' 11 feel a positive sense of accomplishment as you finish each part.

Ocean Dumping. Imagine yourself walking on a beautiful beach, carrying a sand bucket. Stop at a good spot and put your worries into the pail. Drop the bucket and watch as it drifts away into the ocean.

Think Good Thoughts. Create a set of positive but brief affirmations and mentally repeat them to yourself just before you fall asleep at night, and you will feel a lot more positive in the morning.

Imagine Yourself Succeeding. Close your eyes and remember a real life situation in which you did well. Imagine facing your stressful situation with the same feelings of confidence.

Use Your Bed for Sleeping, Not Studying. Your mind may start to associate your bed with work, which will make it harder for you to fall asleep.

Comforting Sounds. If you want to play music, keep it low in the background. Classical mu-sic especially can aid the learning process.

Take a Hike, Pal. Need a study break? Take a short, brisk walk. Clear your mind.
