I am glad that Schlosser didn’t pander to that idea. I remember being a teen thinking, “Don’t patronize me. I may be young, but I am not stupid.” Teens are capable of all sorts of tremendous thought, if we only engage them.

Little children too! They are sponges. Our neighbor, for example, is only three and her parents took her to a dinosaur exhibit at the Smithsonian. Afterwards, we adults learned more about dinosaurs from that 3-year-old than we ever cared to know.
