teachers are quitting in droves, and they're tired of teaching gen z and gen alpha. gen z can't read, and more. what's the issue? #genz #genalpha Parade's be...
One of my siblings is going to school once a week, I think lockdowns definitely fried some brains.
Covid frying brains + kids wondering what the point of education is because there are no jobs + lib teachers not knowing how to deal with fascists or communists + teachers being terrified of losing their jobs if they say that Columbus wasn’t a saint (for instance).
I don’t see how so many people are saying this. My wife is dealing with similar problems with children as young as 4 they don’t know how to write their names let alone know what anything you’re describing even is.
Wouldn’t this be covered under covid frying people’s brains? Or are their parents too desperate and exhausted from working all the time to teach their kids to read?
From what I understand it is pretty typical for these kids to not know how to write their names yet. Like the curriculum is very much still “this is the color blue” “it is now nap time”. You still have to do everything for them they are basically still babies. But that wasn’t the point I was making I can see how that would be confusing because of the way I wrote it. It is not the fact that they can’t write their names that is concerning, it is the behavioral issues that are clearly present in kids this young because they are issues that are directly related to being born around the time lockdowns were occurring. I’ve written some of them out in other comments ITT.
just badly socialised, more aggressive to unfamiliar men than usual. (not that surprising animals get more aggressive when scared and are often more likely to view men as a threat)
bullying smaller dogs because they couldn’t be socialised as puppies etc
A lot of the same then. Some kids have fear of strangers even if it’s just a new student while others are more physically aggressive towards others and the staff. The general consensus is that this year has been the worst class the school has seen.

I do a little work with dogs on the side and lockdown puppies often have behavioural issues
Makes sense to me. What have you noticed?
