This is a very thought-provoking piece. Explains what I've been seeing in my grandchildren, and to be honest, even in daughter #2.

I’ve noticed a high percentage of severe narcissism in Gen Z co-workers.

Managed to get one of the newly employed one fired. She was nuts!

We’ve screwed up everything. It will certainly take decades to fix this mess. And if it takes well over 100 years, I wouldn’t be surprised. But I’ll be dead, so there is that.

I never grew up, I just learned how to act around adults.

All on purpose. They don’t want non-elites questioning the way things “work”.

Then around age 12, children enter the "formal operational stage," becoming capable of theoretical and abstract reasoning.

I just don't know about a "formal operational stage," at 12 I and my friends were heavily into "General Interest Relationship Learning Seminars."

“This is a very thought-provoking piece.”

The first thought it provoked in me came from the first paragraph:

“The topic was gender and how the experiences of the authors we were studying related to our world today.”

This is an English AP class, not a cultural affairs class.

“Even when teenagers want an open dialogue, they don’t agree “

By definition, an open dialog is one with non-agreed-upon ideas.

“During lunch at school recently, someone brought up transgender females ...”

Ouch! Obviously this sort of thing is what the author likes to talk about and have her students talk about.

Oh well. Mother Theresa said that wisdom is acquired through suffering.

Piaget was an important author used by most if not all US Education departments. Then, not now. He his now considered passe, but his theories have never been disproven.

I’m glad I wasn’t raised in day care centers.

I see it all the time. My ex is a prime example - he blames his addiction, but I saw it before he started drinking. He was incapable of maturation, and was stuck in his politocal and cultural belief system (Leftism).
