This is an interesting article, but I think it is heavily skewed toward the author’s goals in life and who they innately are. A guide for a more introverted person, or sports-oriented person, or highly social person would be vastly different.
In particular, I think the author makes the mistake of believing everyone must be a creator. The reality is most people aren’t good at it, don’t like it and don’t pursue it. And that is OK.
It also underestimates how young 14 really is, and how much still needs to be learned in general, not just in school but in life.
The difference between 14 and 18 is a vast chasm.
- JALTU 3y agoYeah, I do and have done creative things and enjoy the creative output of others immensely. But given the choice, I'd rather ride my bikes, ski, sea kayak, etc. Fortunately creators have created some amazing machines and prosthetics to enable such pursuits.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoI don't think they realize how lost teenagers can be either. Some kids have a driven vision, but a lot don't. They are still going to hang around the same parking lots and it's not because school is getting in the way.
- javier_e06 3y agoI agree that the article over generalize several aspects of High School education. High School in most cases is the last chance people will be able to share each other experiences/lives. Afterwards people dive into the compartmentalized world of their careers and social status. Learning is just one part of the whole thing.
