The information in this article provided a solid foundation as to why addressing anxiety in students, as an educator is important. The definition provided of anxiety is, " the response of an individual to real or potential threats that can endanger their homeostasis." The article does not specifically discuss the role educators play in helping students cope with anxiety. However, it provided a broad understanding of what anxiety is, factors that contribute to  anxiety in adolescents and how to treat it. As stated in the article, " The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th edition; DSM-5) includes 7 anxiety disorders seen in children: generalized anxiety, social anxiety, separation anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobia, and selective mutism. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), separation anxiety, and social anxiety disorder (SAD) are the 3 most common adolescent anxiety disorders seen by primary care providers (PCPs)." 

With GAD and SAD being most common in adolescents, both presumably negatively impact student's experience in education. Noted among many symptoms of anxiety were: difficulty concentrating, somatic issues such as stomach and/or head aches, and lack of self confidence. Though the article did not directly explore how these symptoms would impact a student in school, one can infer these symptoms would have negative implications for a student's experience in school.
