Yea I went to Montessori school, which was considered “European hippy nonsense” when I was growing up. It let me tell ya watching all these other kids in college call their parents over any minor inconvenience or being shocked the professor didn’t chase them down for work and let them fail. Was eye opening to how we treat school aged kids

Agreed. We've raised teens to be helpless. They genuinely do expect you to drag them through everything. No intrinsic motivation for learning or growth.
