THE GEN-X PARENT
“OVER THE PAST DECADE, GEN-XERS
HAVE BEEN TAKING OVER FROM
BOOMERS AS THE MAJORITY OF
K-12 PARENTS.

GEN-X PARENTS AND BOOMER PARENTS
BELONG TO TWO NEIGHBORING
GENERATIONS, EACH POSSESSING THEIR
OWN LOCATION IN HISTORY AND THEIR
OWN PEER PERSONALITY.
— NEIL HOWE & WILLIAM STRAUSS




                                Millennials & K-12 Schools: Educational Strategies for a New Generation
THEY’RE NOT BOOMERS
‱   Personally attached, protective and directive
    of their children.

‱   Oriented toward their kids when voting and
    volunteering.

‱   Less trusting of educators and less idealistic
    about education.

‱   Sensitive to prices and more insistent on choice.

‱   Less patient and respectful as problem solvers.

ACTION STEPS

1. Assume no trust.

2. Stress accountability and contribution.

3. Offer data, standards, transparency, and ROI.

4. Offer real-time service.

5. Enable parent choice.

6. Prepare for the modular “opt-out” consumer.

                              Millennials & K-12 Schools: Educational Strategies for a New Generation
“IN THIS ERA OF ACCOUNTABILITY,
K-12 LEADERS NEED TO FACE UP
TO THE RISING TIDE OF
GEN-X PARENTS.

SCHOOLS THAT FIGURE IT OUT,
COLLECT THE RIGHT DATA,
AND MARKET THEMSELVES
INTELLIGENTLY TO THIS NEW
GENERATION OF PARENTS WILL
BE ABLE TO BRAND THEMSELVES
FOR SUCCESS IN THE DECADES AHEAD.”

I don’t have anything to say.

I can’t say anything meaningful in 140
characters.

I don’t have time.

I’m not interested in hearing about what
people are eating for breakfast.

It’s a waste of time.
