Christine Rosen

But to remember that the student is the learner.

And I recently read a book called The Extinction of Experience by Christine Rosen.

And she talked about the serious disconnect.

with children now in the digital age that they're not getting enough hands-on experience with anything in life.

It points to a fundamental communal shift.

Adam Ilath shares insight from Christine Rosen, who teaches that when systems remove difficulty, they don't just make tasks easier, they quietly remove the formative work and personal growth that results from difficulty.

The process of learning, for children and for adults, involves cultivating judgment, patience, humility, and attention.

These qualities emerge only through sustained encounter, repetition, resistance, and return.
