Gen Z is amazing! I mean, I've been teaching undergrads since 1997 and haven't ever NOT loved my students, but my Gen Z atudents are so very ready to attack serious issues in a deeply thoughtful way. They keep hope alive for me.
I knew it was a whole new culture when I began explaining how the meritocratic narrative shapes our educational and social systems, and why its assumptions are incorrect. Previous generations wanted to fight me. Gen Z hit my classroom, and those students just nodded and wanted to know more.
