Grammar
meaning
I found these phrases quite difficult to understand even not being able to roughly guess their meanings.
e.g. The popularity of both genres (not to mention a debate
like this) suggests a market eager to hear the call to
give kids more room to screw up on their own and
pitch in to help others.
What is the meaning of pitch in?
Eager to push their kids but panicked about too much
pressure, they heap on the praise and fend off
discomfort.
What does it mean by that underlined part?
they worry they can’t chart their way in the world, or for
that matter in the prestigious colleges they’ve toiled
to get into.
What does the writer really want to say? I can't figure out what the underlined part's meaning is.
