Our education system really is broken. I’ve seen it firsthand. It’s not just a matter of me or others being in a different generation, but rather it’s in terms of their critical thinking, social skills, handwriting, etc.
The younger generation got messed up by Covid in terms of schooling as well.
And for mother fucking fuck’s sake, disallow phones in school during school hours!
Oh for sure it’s not a “generation” problem, like their DNA is somehow inferior or something. We just use that more to denote sections of people in a given time, who obviously have things going on differently. It’s a shitty thing to use though because it often ends up being reduced to simply that.
Technology (bad…technology) has lobotomized generations of people. Big tech needs to be held accountable, stiff regulation and educational reform was needed years ago… And things chug on as the tech illiterate boomers continue to fuck future generations over.
And yeah, no phones in school… Hell, I don’t think anyone under 18 should be on social media, or using AI chatbots.
For the last decade I’ve wanted to go back to Canada to raise my kids there because I personally believe I gained a lot from the Canadian public education system and just the Canadian way of life in general. But the more I hear about the current system, I feel like my kids dodged a bullet—not literally, unlike in the US. Seriously though, it seems like kids today learn no critical thinking skills or even tech skills unless the parents have a shit ton of money to put them in better schools.
growing ignorance, failing education, growing effective propaganda, lack of regulation on media manipulation …etcetc

I’d shake your hand bud cause we’re in total agreement!
