For real!!🤣

Gen A here, I'm one of the few lucky individuals that didnt get sucked into the abyss while still having the internet at an early age, I'm just gonna say, it isnt just that GEN A is starting to fall apart, society is. The internet is leading to isolation, companies are breaking workers apart, and covid became big corrupt government and business folk's best dream came true, relationships between parents are torn, the economy is worsening, suicide rates for CHILDREN have doubled, and up to 70% of GEN Z have depression, 40% for GEN A. Simply put it, big corp won, school has reached it's peak now, with very few exceptions of the factory workers they want, along with internal problems like father to son relationships breaking as testerone lowers in kids, my only prediction is an actual case of 1. fall of humanity or even worse, 2. big corp wins, its factory after factory, and it goes bleak forever (apologies for the bad grammar, no time to fix it or to even make a whole paragraphs worth, had to make it one sentence).

You spoke nothing but facts!

I need to rant about this for a minute, because you really got me thinking here. Gen Z was used like lab rats when it comes to utilizing new technology in school, and I think that was a huge mistake. We all saw how all this new tech was causing issues in kids, but nothing was changed. And strangely parents seemed to go with the flow and started giving more and more tech to their kids at home too. Right now, my nieces and nephews are all between three - eight and they all have their own tablets. Every 2 minutes switching to a new game and/or show. They are unable to focus on a single task for any considerable length of time. It's not good for development in my opinion, sets a bad precedent. I had my first phone in second grade, and it was a Nokia flip phone. I never even used the dang thing, it was strictly for emergencies. Then in like fifth grade I got some android smartphone, I didn't really use it that much either. Basically only used it when I wasn't at home or school and there was nothing else to do. So basically never. But already, at this point in time seeing kids on their phones wasn't an uncommon sight. Listening to music, playing games, texting friends. I wasn't exactly a social butterfly, and me and friends were always together so we didn't need to text. I think I used my phone a lot less than the average kid. Then in seventh grade our school district got a ton of ipads for the students. We were even allowed to take them home. That's when the sh*t really hit the fan in my experience. Everybody was playing on these ipads during class and the teachers literally couldn't do anything. It rubbed off onto me as well. Sometimes I would put some earbuds in, play some music, and take a nap or read a book. It was a bad influence. Some teachers just banned them outright in their class. At the time it made us all mad, but in hindsight it made perfect sense to ban them. None of our classes actually even utilized the ipad, so it didn't affect our school work at all if they weren't allowed. But the school wasn't going to let that fly. Imagine issuing ipads to literally all your students, only for your teachers to forbid their use. They tried to fix the issue. But even when the ipads got "locked down" students found ways to bypass the locks. During my eighth grade year they said F it and stopped trying, and teachers were forced to just deal with it. Let the kids do whatever I guess, that'll be fine. Once we got into high school they took the ipads back and were given full blown laptops instead. I was actually shocked. The issues obviously only got worse. I was watching youtube basically the entire day at this point. And the funny thing is, once again the devices were never actually needed. We could have used the school libraries computers for taking online exams. And taking notes on a laptop just wasn't the same in my opinion, not nearly as effective. Our teachers were still giving out paper homework too. People would just use the laptops to goof off. Overall I think integration of technology in school was one of the biggest problems my generation faced. And I can only assume technology in school will still a big problem for some time. They need to either get their sh*t together and come up with a solution, or remove technology from the equation altogether and adopt a more traditional style of teaching. Kids don't necessarily need tablets or laptops, they need one on one time and to engage with the learning material. I think these things can be helpful, but they need to be implemented correctly to be beneficial. When I went to community college a few years ago I literally never once used a laptop or tablet. My school district supposedly got those devices to prepare us for the tools we will be using later in our education. What a joke. I didn't even learn how to properly use Microsoft word or the other Microsoft Office programs until I took a computer course in college. High school didn't even teach us a fraction of what I learnt from that computer course.

You hit the nail on the head with this one! I remember things getting bad during middle school when students were given chrome books which everyone used them just to only play games. Funny enough it was only used in our home rooms so we would literally take them out for the class and place them back in but the problem was, was when we had study hall and everyone just used the chrome book laptops for youtube and the classic gen z unblocked school games like "RUN". Even in high school we were given ipads which were paid off after our graduation and we got to keep them. I guess my High school kind of implemented the ipad usage the right way for the most part since ipads were almost if not all the time used for strictly class work since we had class apps like google classroom which kept us in check. Even if we had paper assignments most times we turn it in or take a picture and post it in google classroom. I think covid is also a huge factor to everyone in high school during the time since it made every lazy especially when all the kids were at home 24/7 days of the week. It's only going to get worse from now since the past has already been done.
