[QUOTE="jmike314, post: 3766340, member: 26830"] I teach & coach high school. Right now high school students were all born after 9/11. As it stands, the COVID pandemic is the biggest thing that's happened during their time that they'll remember. They've always had internet, iPhones, flat screen TVs, computers, electric cars, 100s of TV channels...some of them only know 8 planets. Young athletes today don't understand what a knee injury was 30-40 years ago. I'm always talking to my students about paying attention to what's going on around them. What's the defining moment of your generation? What's the big tech advancement of your time? What are the things you'll be "I remember when" to your kids about 30 years from now? It amazes me that they are privy to a seemingly infinite stream of information on a daily basis but can't recall a single noteworthy thing that's happened in their lifetime. By the time I graduated high school, I had plenty. [/QUOTE]
