Requests:  0 Summary:  Generation Z-- youth born after 1997-- seems to be made up of anxious overachievers, hounded by Tiger Moms and constantly tracked on social media. One would think that competitors in the National Spelling Bee, the most popular brain sport in America. would be the worst off. Shankar argues that, far from being simply overstressed and overscheduled, Gen Z spelling bee competitors are learning crucial twenty-first-century skills from their high-powered lives, displaying a sophisticated understanding of self-promotion, self-direction, and social mobility. She examines the outsize impact of immigrant parents and explains why Gen Z kids are on a path to success. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 155.419 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 155.419 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 155.419 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList
