Ofc in some cases, yes the older person does have more life experience, but if a 5th grader who has been getting bullied all their life is trying to explain the impacts of bullying on themselves or others and the older(never bullied) person tries to tell them they know better about what it’s like to be bullied, “being older” falls off lol
Yess! And also sometimes fifth graders genuinely do know more than you and you should check their claims before dismissing them completely? Like I’m thinking about when they were still teaching “your blood is blue until it leaves your veins” type stuff, there would be kids in my classes who would KNOW it was wrong and would spend a ton of time trying to prove their point, right? But no matter what the teacher would pull the “I’m the authority you’re wrong” even w/ evidence we were right lol
