from The Best Paragraph I've Read... · host Zac & Don
The Best Paragraph I've Read:"By turning childhood into a thing that can be measured,adults have managed to impose their greatest fears of failure onto the youngest among us. Each child who strays from our standards becomes a potential medical mystery to be solved, with more tests to take, more metrics to assess. The onlything that seems to consistently evade the detectives is the world around that child — the one made by the grown-ups."This article comes from the New York Times. The title is: "Are Schools a Problem?" The author is Sam Sifton. You can read the full article here.Zac & Don are joined by their good friend Dave McKay. The three discuss whether schools and their system of standards should be blamed for the rise in childhood anxiety. They wonder if it is possible phones are being unfairly blamed.
