[quote=Anonymous]For those who claim that kids are better prepared / smarter than previous generations; this is incorrect. I hire a new class of 22 year-olds each year and have for 30 years. Intelligence, work ethic, and executive function have been declining since about 2015. The article's author is right about the factors noted, but there is a mega trend that underlies everything: the professional jobs that we were all taught would lead to success and happiness are drying up, so more and more kids are being "trained" for a world that doesn't exist. Ironically, we are inculcating fragility in our kids in order to make them super PMCs (professional managerial class)--but they will find very actual jobs open to them.[/quote]
