The Teens Are Not Alright
Vatterott, Cathy
Educational Leadership, v76 n8 p12-16 May 2019
Excessive workloads, crammed schedules, and "perfectionism" are causing today's teens undue stress. Cathy Vatterott, an international expert on K-12 homework, describes this as an epidemic of "rudderless box checkers--four AP classes, check; debate team, check; two sports, check; honor roll, check." What can educators do then to alleviate this relentless focus on achievement? Here, Vatterott recommends specific practices that schools can implement to bring more balance to the lives of overwhelmed teens.
