I work at a primarily undergraduate university. I work with students from literally all over the planet.
Sweet Moses, kids today are so much smarter than when I was a teenager (and I'm not that old!).
I do executive coaching and strategic planning with these students and their ability to understand complex issues, be creative, and build off each other's ideas is simply amazing.
This isn't to discredit the education the students in Parkland are receiving but holy crap the level of intelligence of teenagers is higher than you'd think.
