Shorten the amount of school days in the school year

Students in the American public school system are dealing with a great deal of stress from teachers, tests, parents/family, and homework. But most of all, students have to deal with other students. And with all this pressure, students aren't focusing on whats important. Getting an education. They are focusing on staying out of trouble, going out of their way to make friends, or they are focused on family problems. I believe shortening the school year will not only relieve stress from students, but lower the suicide/murder rate of minors in the American public school system.
