re: Dear educators, Gen Z here. Could you please teach us like it’s 2026?

TL;DR
Ran it through Copilot
Sounds like we need to spend even more money on "education."

Core Takeaway
Gen Z students argue that higher education is still teaching like it’s 2016, not 2026. Their brains, habits, stress levels, and learning environments have fundamentally changed — especially due to social media, COVID-era schooling, and now generative AI — but teaching practices haven’t kept up. They’re not asking for easier work; they’re asking for different work.
Sounds like we need to spend even more money on "education."

some of that was fine, honestly
the mental health part was terrible, which should have been -
"yes, we have more diagnoses than your generation, no, you shouldn't cancel exams because we're traumatized because some protestor ran in front of a police car, make us toughen up and stop treating us like 13 year olds"

Of course ! Now you are an expert on developmental neurology and human anatomy. Let us all add that to your Internet credentials

Look up Elon’s school near Austin.
That is instructional design that removes the problem. We are not one sized fits all. Yet our education system is built on assembly line model: All same - content, pace, batch processing, etc.
Enough! Blow it up. AI will rebuild it. This is one area of AI disruption / dismantling I look forward to.

If they can't write in cursive their opinions shouldn't matter.

Gen Z is more pathetic than Millennials.

To the extent all this hot air is intended as a kind of fricking “generational manifesto,” it’s irrelevant. Gen Z is tiny.

That article is not all bad. It does make some very good points. But it also makes some very bad points.
It's pretty much spot on here:
Our education system isn't about learning, it's about credentialling. So I don't blame the current generation for using whatever's easiest and fastest to get that college stamp so they can move on to the next phase of the "education pipeline"

Block our access to GenAI while we are learning and practising our skills answering these higher-level questions. Block our access to GenAI while you are testing us. That way you are actually evaluating our critical thinking skills, and not our ability to use GenAI. We want to learn how to critically think, but it’s too tempting to do what’s easier, faster and will earn us the best grade to maximise our chances of, say, getting into medical school, keeping our scholarships and passing our classes to graduate.

It's public education. And it fits about 80% of the population, and it's always been that way.
I noticed I didn't see attendance, reliability, responsibility, being on time, etc. being on that list. I'm curious what the excuse is for that behavior.

A person doesn't need to be an "expert" to understand this pretty basic bit of information.

seems like younger Gen X and older millennials are really, really bad at parenting

The least surprising thing in this article is these students are from Arizona State.
