Several decades ago I was involved in teacher training and taught educational psychology. A few traditional notions about good study habits were floating around, but unfortunately most had no evidence to support them. At best they were commonly held beliefs among most teachers, parents and students.

First off, let me be clear I am not talking about living outside society’s rules and expectations. If you shoplift, run a grow-op, drink and drive, smoke in the presence of others or abuse your family, there will always be people telling you how to live; there is no age limit.

We grow up with the conventional thinking that we will become adults and our parents will grow old and die before we do. Furthermore, our children will grow up to be adults and we will predecease them in old age. Fortunately for most, the flow of life and death follows that pattern. But for some, the sequence and timing get messed up and it takes an emotional and behavioral toll.

I grew up in a world where young people were urged to stay in school and get an education. It didn’t matter what in; just get an education. At that time about 10% of high school students went on to get a college degree, less in non-urban areas. That all changed in the 60s and 70s at a time when university enrollment was skyrocketing. The big shift was in terms of specialization.
