Challenging young minds

"When we treat teens like adults, they almost immediately rise to the challenge."

The myth of the teen brain is presenting some interesting thoughts on societal expectations from the young people and the consequences of those low expectations/high restrictions.

My old professor from Serbia, in a lecture of roadway design, told us: "If you treat drivers as idiots, they will behave as idiots". I see that quote applicable to complete education system, and something we forgot on the way to the modern age.


All the best,
MM
