"Should education "stretch" a person do you think? (What do you mean by "stretch"?)"
Definition of stretch: "To extend or to strain oneself to the utmost, as by intense exertion, tax."
Yes, I think so. To stretch someone in education is to open up more opportunities for someone. If they have a flare for whatever topic, then pushing an individual to their best potential can increase them taking it further with that skill. For example, if a teacher compliments your work and encouraged you to consider studying it at a higher level then this may encourage you to "stretch" yourself.
Stretching an individual in a negative sense can cause the opposite effect as in no interest or to stop learning, as there may be more of an audience than there was before. For example, in a textiles class your work being taken and shown to the entire class to look up to can create un-needed pressure to perform well.
