We were talking about work experience in high school
Where are they not accepting CLEP tests?
That's a completely different issue than what I was talking about though
No argument here!
That wasn't my experience as a millennial
You had some really good points until:
while their college-bound peers might have worked a couple years flipping burgers.
This is you being judgmental, not a reflection of reality.
Anything Cajun. Jambalaya, gumbo, red beans and rice, etc
If you want advice on how to handle this: ask questions. Ask them calmly and without any judgment. Be genuinely curious.
"What makes him a 'beta male?'"
"What characteristics do you admire most in 'alpha males?'"
"What characteristics do you think you have?"
"Where'd you learn about all this?"
Don't ask them in rapid fire, pepper a question in here and there over time.
Correction - when you say "an alpha is a strong leader," you mean, "some people think an 'alpha male' is a strong leader, but that's not based in reality."
The curriculum is cumulative. In order for it to adapt, kids would have to learn more advanced subjects earlier than they have in years past. There are lots of kids doing this in Advanced Placement classes, but most kids are not ready to progress that quickly.
What was neutered? The job market left a HS education behind a long time ago, and that's not because of the high school curriculum, that's because of the job market
