Students speak up 

What do adults, especially teachers, get wrong about people your age, and what do you wish they understood? 

DYLAN: It is often evident to me that adults and teachers look down upon our generation. They think that we are a group of rebellious teens who spend their time on their phones doing nothing but social media and watching Netflix. And while that may be true for some, our generation deserves more. We deserve better. We are the generation that is going to cure cancer, the generation that will end the Flint water crisis, and the generation that will produce higher-caliber educators. I wish that adults and current teachers understood that everyone is unique and just because we have a societal stigma, that does not mean that none of us has the chance to succeed.
