Do the primary + 2ndary & HS curricula sufficiently motivate younger to feel elderly as an asset? Do you agree that there are plenty of rooms to improve it? How & where? Please share ideas.
I decided to look at what is written because I am now retired and found this question intriguing.
I found this book and scanned down at the contents; plenty of thought provoking chapters:
Ayalon, L., & Tesch-Römer, C. (Eds.). (2018). Contemporary perspectives on ageism. Springer International Publishing.

Chapter 30 (2nd to last chapter) is available on ResearchGate:
Chapter Children’s Attitudes toward Older People: Current and Future...
. . . but I've only had a quick look. Reading the last paragraph pp544-5 looks as if more studies are needed.
In the times past, there have been cultures in which older people have been respected and held in high regard.
I have not noticed any changing of attitude to me, but wonder what the future brings.
I will follow this discussion with interest.
Thanks Mary C R Wilson for your kind and valuable response. We are also waiting and observing the changing of attitude towards the older. But there are lot of scopes to do something for the youths now. Isn't it?
