You know what was good about 66-90’s trek? Older cast members who were role models.
We’re not going to get a good show full of teenagers.

Surely there are staff and teachers. Kind of the definition of role models I would have thought.

Hopefully. But suspect they’ll be minor characters like Pike in Star Trek (2009).

Not every Star Trek show needs to be made for you or your (our) age group. We need new shows to appeal to younger viewers and keep the franchise fresh.
I’m an old thing who watched TOS in first run in my primary grades. I have absolutely zero patience with the position you’re taking. I watch it all and don’t need to see people my age as the principal characters anymore than I did when I was six.
Shows aren’t made for the mass audience anymore, and even TNG was a bit beyond our kids when they became franchise fans as middle graders. They loved watching Voyager reruns though, demonstrating to me why it was the most successful Trek show on Netflix.
