Another big one is making it personally relevant.

It’s amazing how much knowing about Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft, or stupid TikTok memes can win over a kid. I love doing unit conversion with Vbux or whatever.

And 6-7 has been a godsend to teaching math.

    I think it has to be more challenging to teach younger people because you have to keep up with all that.

    But yeah if you can speak their language, that's a huge advantage.

    Recent fun one was helping a kid design a poll about favorite SCP’s and having a discussion about population versus samples.

    There does seem to be a stagnation in culture in that most of my middle school cultural touchstones are still there. I can hold my own in a conversation about Naruto because I’ve been around people obsessed about it for two decades. My Chemical Romance and Fallout Boy are still popular.
