Adultism is a new fad in education. It’s the idea that treating children as children and not as adults is discrimination.
It obviously is discrimination in the sense that we discern that a child is different from adult. But the new fad is that we should stop discerning. I’ll let you guess who wins from erasing a boundary between children and adults.
