Anyway I liked the trueanon ep and thought the whole SA part was fun but also just lmao at the part about college kids who can’t read or do fractions and think satire is a synonym for lying - idk maybe it’s all true but it felt very much like what boomers said about us when we were that age and it made me uncomfortable

I am wary of that vibe too, but talking with teachers and how hosed people are in the head post-pandemic, I think there’s some truth there.

I do know Ivies do not fail people, you are intended to be groomed into a member of the ruling class, it’s not about learning things as much as that, and the dumbest boss I ever had graduated from the Kellogg school at Harvard so I have personal confirmation that a genuine loving moron can get through an Ivy program. he was an adult convert to Mormonism who caused our department to have two racial sensitivity trainings, the second triggered by something he blurted out in the first one.

this

i mean i get no one wants to be "old man yells at clouds kidzz these days just want to skateboard!",. durr socrates once said 3000 years ago the kids are going to hell in teh handbasket everythings fine!!!

but there definitely is. you also have to be really DV-esque dumb to not see connection between rapid degradation of material conditions, hyper surveillance and computerization, lack of social cohesion and kinships, and bleak future outlooks to not believe that actually yes, things are worse and younger kids are going to have a much worse and deteriorated time than the past, and will behave accordingly.

behavior is downstream of ecology, and.. buddy, have you seen contemporary american ecosystem recently?

My mom was a first grade teacher for over 40 years and says that in the last ~5 years (of her teaching, which I think would be like 2013-2018 or something) students started to have noticably worse attention spans.

Wonder if that's a side effect of sticking young children on iPads and what have you.

She's been doing observations for student teachers after retiring, and is of the opinion that the younger students get absolutely nothing from remote teaching (which is kind of common sense - students that age need more stimulation) .

I’m sure the industry will find a way to argue otherwise but one of the small silver linings of the pandemic was the destruction of the myth of the efficacy of MOOCs

idk how social media and the internet has shaped kids coming of age now, but i do something think about how we're the only generation in living memory to go through the birth and growing pains of a new age of information access and if that gives us any advantages/disadvantages in navigating The Information Super Highway to the World Wide Web.

15th century peasant smdh at the kids these days getting their gospel from a book lmfao you idiot. you're falling for words written down on DEAD TREES instead of spoken from the HOLY representative of god's will on earth? you stupid idiot, you can write down anything! WORDS from a pastor are imbued with the authority of the divine.
