| Students will face many difficulties in the coming year. They will need to catch up on last year's content and learn this year's — all while possibly confronting such issues as social isolation, difficulty with internet or computer access, food insecurity, family responsibilities, and more. For many students, the demands of the schoolwork will exceed the support they have available. Psychophysiologists, who study the connection between the mind and the body's stress system, call this "threat" stress. |
