Students are more anxious in the Trump era, teachers say

When UCLA researchers asked public school teachers across the country last spring about their students’ emotional states, just over half said they thought more students were experiencing “high levels of stress and anxiety” than they had in the previous school year.

Researchers surveyed a representative sample of 1,535 teachers at public high schools around the country. In 35 follow-up interviews and an open-ended question on the survey that more than 800 teachers answered, many attributed that shift to the current political climate, said UCLA education professor John Rogers, author of the report “Teaching and Learning in the Age of Trump.”
