I feel that the teachers at our school do push people to do well but not too hard.  My teachers always told me if they felt I was capable of getting higher and offered help if I wanted it, unless of course someone is doing way under their potential and then there is a need to step in.

I find I sometimes do better when I'm being pushed to do better, depends on the way it's done.
