This isn't ne sided problem and not of all the kids everywhere. (thanks god) I do know that there is also other side pointing that Schools are not preparing us well on life, that we are wasting time there, I'm on this one too, I learned some essentials and beyond that to turn on recorder of whatever teacher is saying and then draw doodles. But here on the video this is about the essentials. Reading, writing, thinking... apparently.

It's not only in USA, I was surprised that in Europe we have lower but similar problems. Kids are not getting dumer, but they are less brain active or whatever...

But it leads to some crazy thoughts:
These kids who cannot do anything but scroll, they will be next age of neandhrtals, who will get things done with rocks and maces, because they might never be able to work a job, so danger of criminality.

In one or two generations, Africa might start sending pastors to America to build schools to educate these primitives. (this one is really crazy, but realistic, actually. Though it will rather be China, Russia or maybe EU...)

Maybe the worldwide ban of physical punishments for kids will have to go, because it is starting to be obvious that we are not able to raise kids without them.

Elephant in the room is of course that people coming to a country aren't encouraged to learn the language. Free money anyway so why bother. Kids learn from their parents.

I teach in public K-12. It's really, really rough out here. Solutions are obvious, simple, and cheap but it is insane the amount of bullshit there is that gets in the way. I'm moving states next school year to see if there's any hope left, but I don't know. Trying to stay positive, but it is incredibly sad.

Sad to hear it to be a fact. Hope you can hold on.

Is it true that teachers are indeed quitting because they cannot handle it anymore?

Where i live its true. Its because of poor work life balance, burnout, poor pay, awful parents, and political pressures
