[quote=Anonymous]I taught a foreign language as an adjunct professor from 2011-13 and again from 2017-19.  My Gen Z students were more infantile than my previous younger millennial students.  Vast difference, though neither group was great.  During my second tenure teaching, I had multiple Gen X parents contacting me to discuss their kid’s progress or to ask for excuses for late assignments, grade changes, etc.  If you need to communicate with professors, your kid is not ready for the university environment.  The students themselves were very quick to cry during office hours.  I recommend the Coddling of the American Mind for further insight.

Though I think most of this with Gen Z is related to the social media component, parenting also plays a role.  I always thought of Gen X as incredibly cool and still do.  I also think they are the world’s worst parents.  Just look at this thread.  They think everything their kids do is perfect and adorable.  Boomers were far too narcissistic for this level of coddling.  TBD if millennials can top Gen X on raising weaklings but I imagine they will.  [/quote]
