"Was It Nice Growing Up Back Then In The 1990s?": 26 Times Gen Z And Gen Alpha Students Made Teachers Feel Really, Really Old
"A student of mine called his friend a boomer, and I asked what that made me. Without hesitation, he looked me up and down and said, 'Prehistoric.'""I was talking to a student, and I said I liked her belt. She thanked me and said it was Y2K. Another teacher with us asked what that was, and I said I thought it was a brand. The student looked at us and said it was a fashion style, like from the 2000s.
"Every April 30th, I put up the Justin Timberlake meme that says 'It’s Gonna Be May.' My students don’t understand, nor do they know who NSYNC is. I teach high school upperclassman, and I’m only 34.""I work at a university. One of my students asked me how old I was, and at the time, I was 26. She said, 'OMG, try not to worry, you don’t actually look 26.' LMAO.
"Last June, in a language class of 17- and 18-year-olds, we were playing a game in which students were assigned a famous person and have to guess who they are with clues from their peers. One student was assigned 'Madonna,' and they couldn't figure out the answer. Turned out at least 60% of the class had never heard of Madonna. I've been teaching 22 years, and that's the oldest I've ever felt.
"When asking grade school kids, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' There were no answers like fireman, doctor, veterinarian, astronaut, policeman, etc. It was answers like video game professional, famous internet person, code-writer,programmer, YouTube star, and 'influencer.' Very different from when I grew up. It made me feel very old ."
"Last year, 2022, I had a 6th-grade student try to explain to me who Eminem was. I had to politely tell her that I’d been listening to him since his first album came out when I was a 6th grader."
