Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations “screwed up” giving students access to so much technology: “I genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”
Alot of the problem is what the computers provide and how there are so many avenues around using them for actual learning and how much money it costs public schools to lock down the devices. Each device might costs some “low” price but the price to manage them is sooo much more that not all schools can muster up to pay. That leads to the kids doing jack shit and dicking around playing games or whatever. I know because Ive worked at schools as IT since 2012.
Not only that kids don’t get in any sort of trouble at all anymore…some form of discipline isn’t bad but the kids have so much power now they might as well be the parents. I’m not saying ya let’s hit them and stick a dunce cap on them but they legit have zero consequences for almost anything they do nowadays. Hell we have a huge budget aside for expecting to be sued because of some stupid situation yearly. They play the system which in turns plays themselves when they get older…most can’t even fix simple computer problems anymore. They really seem so…dumb.
