<p>I read the article a couple of days ago… so my memory might not be quite sharp. What’s interesting about this article was not that it provided a biological basis for why some smart kids melt down under pressure, which is widely known, but that anxiety-related underperformance can be remedied by training. In other words, while it’s in your DNA, it’s not your fate; it can be fixed. Whether you like it or not, the world is full of jobs (I’m not talking about mere tests, but real jobs.) requiring performance under pressure. Kids should learn to adapt, not to avoid.</p>
