      Evidence, please. Of course, this is basically an attitude about youth that adults have developed as they age since ancient Greece at least: Our generation was tougher, had it rougher as kids, was harder working and more moral as kids, and today's youth is being "coddled."https://twitter.com/michaelshermer/status/1090367317936988161 …

      My concern is that because parents/teachers today are coddling children/students, what used to be considered normal anxiety may now be labeled as something much more, thereby robbing a great many people of the opportunity to work through normal anxiety and grow stronger for it.

      First, was must any *concern* be backed up with data? Second, I suspect the best data source for such coddling would be found in national surveys of teachers and school counselors.

          And, no, "concerns" don't necessarily have to be backed up by evidence, but I take them a lot less seriously when they're not.

          I would argue that this "concern" is a feature of the poor character of the professor, not of education. There is more evidence for my opinion.

          The weakest form of evidence is expert opinion, meaning that they are as likely to be wrong as right. Why not just flip a coin and take the choice? Real “concern” is for the N of 1, where the problem is the labeling itself. Suffering is normal.

          Replying to @notchuraverage1 @gorskon

          Schemer does more than express a concern. He makes a dispositive argument: some people are coddled and therefore deprived of opportunities to suffer and grow. This is an assertion that demands definitions and data.

          Shermer is making excuses for a tweet where he bragged about ridiculing students for seeking accommodation for diagnosed conditions. In other words, his "concern" is that he got dragged for bragging about bullying students with disabilities.
