On Our Changing Family Values: A Conversation with David Elkind.
Scherer, Marge
Educational Leadership, v53 n7 p4-9 Apr 1996

Today's "competent" kids are developing more stress-related problems. Schools can help families by placing students' and teachers' needs above political and economic considerations. (MLH)
