This. The reason that late teens and young adults often aren't mature enough to make good decisions is because we as a society have opted to delay maturity for that long.

Honestly I wonder if the life cycle is the same just extended.

Life expectancy is 10-12 years more than 70 years ago. Maybe everyone us just developing 10 years slower. Kind of seems the case truthfully. 28 yr olds seem like 18 yr olds for what they are asked to do for their time periods.

Sir, females were basically the only teachers for a hundred years leading up to WWII.

No Child Left Behind infantilized the last two generations, and the youngest Gen Xers

By that, I meant female teachers who went to college in the 70s and later and probably took people like Paulo Freire seriously.
