Most Tenth Graders I work with hate school. They don’t see the point, it bores them, they don’t like being tested and measured all the time, they find it hard to concentrate, and many of them are overwhelmed by it. This overwhelm makes them either overly anxious and stressed, or it makes them disengage and lose interest.

Add to this a lifestyle that keeps them constantly wired and under pressure; social media, advertising bombardment, gaming addiction, too much blue screen and not enough sleep, day in, day out, while their brains are trying to navigate misinformation, disinformation, AI and pornography.

As a direct result, young people in western cultures are facing a barrage of issues and problems that are only increasing. With the best will in the world, and with wonderful, hard-working, dedicated, caring teachers, the system is sick and broken and it’s not doing anybody any good.  

But most Tenth Graders I work with are also really smart. They know that none of this is good for them. They know the school system isn't working. They know that the way they learn is different to the way things are taught.

They just don't know what to do about it.  

As a young person, I’d like you to be able to look at all this and say, ok, I’m aware that this isn’t working, it’s making me feel awful and it’s having a really negative effect on me. But I’m smart and I want to figure out how to get the most out of school and make decisions that feel right to me.
