I guess giving it a catchy name may help, but it's really just 'mentorship' with one person being younger, which challenges our standard notion of mentorship. One might even call it "two way mentoring" if indeed each party learns from the other.
Agreed. Since no single term beats all the others for clarity though, I'm willing to grant them "reverse mentorship."
Personally, however, 'reverse' anything makes me think of "reverse racism," my least favorite phrase ever. Even in the absence of any political agenda, just taking the term at face value, it doesn't make any damn sense. Racism against white people is still racism. There's nothing 'reverse' about it.
