Decent Essays
In our small group we read two texts that we talked about: One generation learning from another generation. For example in “Tutors Teach Seniors New High-Tech Tricks,” Sometimes teenagers thing senior are judging them by the way they dress or they think we are doing something wrong, but when you actually meet them they don’t judge you by what you’re wearing and they are happy that we are helping them, in paragraph 19, the narrator states “not criticizing me for the way I dress,” she says, “or clucking their tongue. They’re actually respecting me for the knowledge base that I have.” In the second text, “ From Mom & Me & Mom” , She learned from a generation that just bringing a smile to your face you can brighten up anyone's day.

    This shows that the underthirty generation is much more efficient and can get more done. Although new generations are great at teaching themselves thanks to the freedom media provides, they still struggle in “classroom learning that is oriented toward set, predefined goals”(source C). Although the generation is great at teaching themselves they are struggling in lessons that give them less freedom.
