Amazing piece from @johnthorntonjr. Students are experiencing anxiety because of "the constant pressure to optimize their futures." This is exactly what I see in the college students I've worked with. vox.com/first-person/2…
I write about the culture of scarcity and precarity that our students operate within and how I think this imprints on their beliefs and behavior. The issues they're struggling with aren't much different than other generations, but because they're young, they manifest differently.
