In a fabulous book, "Doing School" How We Are Creating a Generation of Stressed Out, Materialistic, and Miseducated Students, by Denise Clark Pope, the author illustrates just how thoroughly kids have internalized our zeitgeist-driven anxiety that it's all slipping away.
It's a stressful read, but one that every parent and every educator should do, and frankly many older students would do well to read and discuss this book... if they have time.
