This was my youtube comment on this video: I actually think this is terrible advice. It discounts how truly unfair the meritocratic processes in place in our current educational paradigm actually are. Students have a right to their anxiety, because so much of the decent quality of life theyd like to hope for DOES hinge on things like their SAT scores. Its part of the misery of living in capitalist America. You tell students that they shouldnt worry about it because this is just one small blip of many, which means if they still fail and cant get a decent job one day its all their fault because, my gosh, look at allllllll of the chances you gave them, right? What sort of loser still fails after weve made it soooooo idiot proof, that is the grotesque message underpinning this video and its why students dose themselves with adderall and have anxiety attacks, because you would rather they mold themselves into something impossible than change the education paradigm and make the system less focused on meritocracy and more focused on actually learning. You and your easy smile, and your Disney references, represent everything wrong with education.
