Big idea:
Lavecchia et al identify 4 decision-making barriers that can prevent some pupils from taking full advantage of educational opportunities.
They then review the recent and growing efforts to mitigate these barriers, from both a policy and empirical perspective.

Power quote:
"Children spend most - if not all - of their school years with less interest in the future than their future adult selves. The timing is unfortunate, given the many important long-term investments that can occur during this period."

Geek bonus:
Lavecchia et al suggest that the rapid development of emotional relatively to self-regulation infrastructure is the reason why teenagers often demonstrate increased pleasure-seeking and risk-taking.
