HL ch 1 Il rifiuto di crescere

Chapter 1 In No Hurry: Growing Up Slowly - iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy--and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood--and What That Means for the Rest of Us

with porn on the Internet, sexy Halloween costumes for young girls, 7th-grade boys requesting nude pictures of their classmates, and other adults-too-soon trends gaining attention, many people believe that children and teens are instead growing up more quickly than in the past.
Note:L'ILLUSIONE

(Not) Going Out and (Not) Getting It On
Note:tttttttt

Yellow highlight | Location: 346
iGen teens are less likely to go out without their parents. The trend began with Millennials and then accelerated at a rapid clip with iGen’ers (see Figure 1.1).
Note:IO MAMMATE E TU

Yellow highlight | Location: 347
12th graders in 2015 are going out less often than 8th graders did as recently as 2009.
Note:POCHE USCITE

the same for students from working-class and middle-class homes.
Note:IL REDDITO NON INCIDE

Nor is the trend caused by the recession:

Yellow highlight | Location: 353
The more likely candidate is smartphones, used by the majority of teens since around 2011–12.
Note:IL MAGGIOR INDIZIATO

Yellow highlight | Location: 354
iGen teens are less likely to experience the freedom of being out of the house without their parents—
Note:LIBERTÀ

Yellow highlight | Location: 364
iGen teens are less likely to date
Note:PRECIPITATE LE USCITE ROMANTICHE

Yellow highlight | Location: 366
In the early 1990s, nearly three out of four 10th graders sometimes dated, but by the 2010s only about half did.

Yellow highlight | Location: 383
The lack of dating leads to the next surprising fact about iGen: they are less likely to have sex than teens in previous decades
Note:SESSO

Yellow highlight | Location: 388
Fewer teens having sex is one of the reasons behind what many see as one of the most positive youth trends in recent years: the teen birthrate hit an all-time low in 2015, cut by more than half since its modern peak in the early 1990s

families have fewer children and cultivate each child longer and more intensely.

Yellow highlight | Location: 408
Compare that to a fast life strategy, where families are larger and parents focus on subsistence rather than quality.

License to Drive
Note:TTTTTT

Yellow highlight | Location: 438
though nearly all Boomer high school students had their driver’s license by spring of their senior year, by 2015 only 72% did.
Note:72%

“because my parents didn’t ‘push’ me to get my license.”
Note:UNA FRASE CHE TRAMORTISCE UN GENX

Yellow highlight | Location: 457
Are fewer teens driving because of ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft? Not likely. First, these services usually require that riders be 18 years old or older, so most high school students can’t use them alone. In addition, Uber debuted in 2009 and Lyft in 2012, and the decline in getting a driver’s license began long before that.

The Retreat of the Latchkey Kids
Note:ttttt

Yellow highlight | Location: 475
In 2015, a Maryland couple allowed their 10- and 6-year-old children to walk by themselves about a mile from a local park to their home. Someone saw the children walking alone and called the police, and the couple was investigated

The Decline of the Teen Job
Note:tttttttt

Yellow highlight | Location: 492
Many Boomers and GenX’ers can remember the first time they bought something with their own money—
Note:I PROPRI SOLDI

Yellow highlight | Location: 495
in the late 1970s, only 22% of high school seniors didn’t work for pay at all during the school year, but by the early 2010s, twice as many (44%) didn’t
Note:DIMEZZAMENTO

Yellow highlight | Location: 497
The number of 8th graders who work for pay has been cut in half.
Note:cccccccc

Yellow highlight | Location: 503
Fewer teens work during the summer as well: in 1980, 70% had a summer job, which sank to 43% in the 2010s
Note:ESTATE

Yellow highlight | Location: 506
Maybe teens don’t have jobs anymore—and don’t go out as much anymore—because they are devoting more time to homework and extracurricular activities.
Note:FALSA CAUSA: PI ATTIVITÀ E PIÙ COMPITI

Yellow highlight | Location: 512
Time spent on student clubs and on sports/exercise as 12th graders changed little over time (see Appendix B).
Note:EXTRATTIVITÀ COSTANTI

Yellow highlight | Location: 514
the rise in volunteering took place between the 1980s and the 1990s, well before the large drop in working for pay.
Note:ANNI NOVANTA

Yellow highlight | Location: 516
As it turns out, iGen 8th, 10th, and 12th graders actually spent less time on homework
Note:SEMPRE MENO COMPITI

Yellow highlight | Location: 524
The trends in this total are clear: iGen teens are spending less time on homework, paid work, volunteering, and extracurriculars combined, not more
Note:CONCLUSIONE

Yellow highlight | Location: 539
even if teens don’t learn high-level skills from their jobs, they often learn the value of responsibility and money.
Note:LAVORARE È UN BENE?

Yellow highlight | Location: 547
disadvantaged teens randomly assigned to a summer jobs program were 43% less likely to be involved in violence.

With fewer teens working, you might think that more would get an allowance to buy the things they want. However, fewer iGen’ers get an allowance.

When they need money, they must, like Ellie, ask for it from their parents.

fewer and fewer drink alcohol. Nearly 40% of iGen high school seniors in 2016 had never tried alcohol at all, and the number of 8th graders who have tried alcohol has been cut nearly in half
Note:POCO ALCOL

Yellow highlight | Location: 586
The decline in trying alcohol is the largest in the youngest groups and by far the smallest among young adults.
Note:cccccccc

Yellow highlight | Location: 592
is especially encouraging; most people would agree that 13- and 14-year-olds drinking is not a good idea.
Note:MOLTO POSITIVO

Yellow highlight | Location: 595
There is one downside to these trends: more young people arrive on college campuses or enter adult life without much experience drinking.
Note:UNA VERGINITÀ CHE SPESSO SI PAGA

The rapid increase in binge drinking from age 18 to age 21 can be risky.

Note:TIPICO PENSIERO

Yellow highlight | Location: 610
What about drug use? The heyday of illicit drug use among teens—the vast majority of which is marijuana—was in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Use then plummeted in the early 1990s before going back up again through the 2000s and 2010s (see Figure 1.12
Note:DROGHE... LA DINAMICA

Yellow highlight | Location: 616
Why the different patterns for alcohol and drug use? Drug use, at least in most states, is illegal at any age. Any rule breaking is roughly equal for drug use whether you are over or under 21. Buying alcohol, however, becomes legal at 21—perhaps why this cautious generation is more likely to avoid it as teens yet still indulges after they turn 21. As more states legalize recreational marijuana for adults, this pattern may change.

Yet GenX’er teens didn’t slow down—they were just as likely to drive, drink alcohol, and date as their Boomer peers

Adolescence is now an extension of childhood rather than the beginning of adulthood.
Note:ADOLESCENZA

Yellow highlight | Location: 643
Is This Because Teens Are More Responsible?
Note:ttttttttttt

Yellow highlight | Location: 644
the sociologist David Finkelhor argued that iGen teens, with their lowered alcohol use, reduced crime rates, and more limited sexuality, are “showing virtues their elders lacked.”

Yellow highlight | Location: 659
Neither “better behaved” nor “boring” captures what’s really going on with iGen: they are simply taking longer to grow up.
Note:SOLO LA CRESCITA LENTA SPIEGA...

Yellow highlight | Location: 661
teens have adopted a slow life strategy, perhaps due to smaller families and the demands wrought by increasing income inequality.
Note:CAUSA 1: STRATEGIA LUNGO PARCHEGGIO

Yellow highlight | Location: 663
The cultural shift toward individualism may also play a role: childhood and adolescence are uniquely self-focused stages, so staying in them longer allows more cultivation of the individual self.

Are teens willing participants in growing up more slowly, or are parents strong-arming them into it?

Yellow highlight | Location: 688
Given the teen tendency to resist restrictions, you’d think teens and their parents would get into more fights.

Yellow highlight | Location: 691
However, iGen teens fight less with their parents;

Yellow highlight | Location: 694
In the most extreme cases of resistance to parents, teens might consider running away.

Yellow highlight | Location: 696
As it turns out, running away is less common among iGen:

Yellow highlight | Location: 701
they are willingly staying children for longer.

A cosa servono i compiti a casa?

Nel suo saggio “Homework is wrecking our kids: The research is clear, let’s ban elementary homework” la tesi sostenuta da Heather Shumaker è chiara:
… There is no evidence that any amount of homework improves the academic performance of elementary students…
C’è chi legge il giornale e fa di questo tema il fatto del giorno e c’è chi invece ha dedicato una vita alla questione. Forse è meglio sentire quest’ultimo, si chiama Harris Cooper, conduce le sue ricerche presso la Duke University. Ecco cosa pensa in merito: 
… Homework has benefits, but its benefits are age dependent
Per le elementari:
… For elementary-aged children, research suggests that studying in class gets superior learning results, while extra schoolwork at home is just . . . extra work
Una precisazione sulle evidenze disponibili:
… let’s dispel the myth that these research results are due to a handful of poorly constructed studies. In fact, it’s the opposite. Cooper compiled 120 studies in 1989 and another 60 studies in 2006. This comprehensive analysis of multiple research studies found no evidence of academic benefit…
Ma perché i compiti fanno più male che bene? C’è l’ipotesi della motivazione:
… A child just beginning school deserves the chance to develop a love of learning. Instead, homework at a young age causes many kids to turn against school, future homework and academic learning…
Poi c’è un’ipotesi legata ai rapporti familiari:
… Then there’s the damage to personal relationships. In thousands of homes across the country, families battle over homework nightly. Parents nag and cajole. Overtired children protest and cry. Instead of connecting and supporting each other at the end of the day, too many families find themselves locked in the “did you do your homework?”…
Poi c’è la questione della dipendenza:
… When homework comes prematurely, it’s hard for children to cope with assignments independently— they need adult help to remember assignments and figure out how to do the work. Kids slide into the habit of relying on adults to help with homework or, in many cases, do their homework…
