In one of my honors classes today, we had an amazing discussion based on an article I assigned by Joseph Epstein called "The Perpetual Adolescent." It was thrilling to see my ninth graders get so excited about the problems associated with not growing up, with seeking eternal youth, with ignoring responsibility. In today's world, I believe this article asks us all to consider our priorities, our values, and what we need to do to make our world a better place for our children and future generations.
Enjoy!
