Does Gen Y Actually Care About Education?

By Seth Simonds

Millennials do care about education. So much so that 33 of them have written on the topic here at TNGG. They’re worried about debt, the education of the next generation, and whether they actually got the best education possible.

In spite of all that’s been said about this generation being overconfident and self-entitled, these writers are worried. They’re worried about how you’ll respond to their thoughts. They’re concerned that you won’t take them seriously enough to engage them in a positive discussion.

But they don’t have a reason to be worried, do they? Surely you recognize that only a few years stand between today’s hipster and tomorrow’s school board member! Surely you agree that thoughtful conversations with modern youth are worth your time?

I hope so. You see, Gen Y really, really cares about education. This is your chance to read their thoughts and engage them in a lively discussion for the next 10 days. Yes, that’s more than a week but we’d like to give you enough time to really dig into some posts and improve them with your insight and conversation.
