Oh boy do I relate to all of this! My students are fierce, wise, self-reliant in ways that I did. not have to be at their age. We have asked them to absorb more information than any of our brains are built to handle, and in turn, they are pushing us to be more inclusive and equitable, and more oriented toward self-care and well-being. This is a great reminder to look at the big picture systems that they are dealing with, rather than doing the habitual finger wagging that is an easy trap for us older folks to get into!
