Here are my observations about my students. - Collin Cleary@collin_cleary

Toward the end, I was teaching “Gen Z." 

• These students combined ignorance with strident moral certainty. 
• They seemed to have had no general education at all, and lacked the most basic knowledge of history, even recent history. 
• They were immature and emotionally fragile. 
• Many could not handle criticism, no matter how sugar coated. 
• It took very little to reduce them to tears – or to send them into a fit of narcissistic rage. 
• They were shockingly bereft of intellectual curiosity, and many gave the impression of having no internal life at all. 

I'll share more observations later.
