So apparently every previous generation likes to pretend like they're stoic and disciplined and revoutionaires?

>>749061019
Yes. Every generation thinks the same shit they were doing as kids is suddenly the end of civilization, and every new generation of kids thinks they're going to be different from the previous ones.

>>749061773
Yes, but this time it's actually legit because gen alpha is genuinely less intelligent than previous gens.

>>749062341
you can thank millenials and boomers for that, complete and utter failures

>>749062341
also theres brown people all over the place and everyone is getting cancer

I looked into it, a major reason is that public school systems fall for "THIS WILL MAKE KIDS LEARN QUICKER" scams routinely. Between like 2008 and 2024 we didn't actually teach kids phonics. We taught them to do the fake kind of reading people that can't read do, just guessing via context clues.

All class rooms have also been completely taken over by incompetent bitches. Female teachers are terrible and do not know how to properly teach anything beyond robotically following some useless syllabus instructions and books.

>Telling on himself
It has been two decades. You have to get over your bitch English teacher. You wouldn't even remember it if a man was an asshole to you, it's just a hangup because she was a woman.

>>749063417
Most of my teachers as a child were women and I think it was fine, but then again most of them were hard asses.

>>749063417
>robotically following some useless syllabus instructions and books.
Anon, this is the entire Prussian system of education, and I guarantee you'd hate a male teacher doing it more. The stereotype is that neither male nor female teachers can teach boys because the female teachers hate all boys inherently and the male teachers are trying to creep on their female students and see the boys as competition. Been like this for decades, I'm afraid.

>>749063417
>beyond robotically following some useless syllabus instructions and books
This is common core not the teachers

>>749063524
I thought I had the stereotypical man-hating woman teacher in high school until I talked with some of the girls I went to high school with a decade later and they all said she was a huge bitch to them too (she coached girls basketball in addition to teaching)

>>749061019
Yup. Even in ancient Greek writings we see the same thing.
The opposite is also true, the new generation always things the older generations are stuck in their ways and unwilling to change for the better.

>>749063484
What's with the random projections? Never had any issues in school regardless of the gender of my teachers. But it's pretty clear female teachers are generally way less competent and are way more eager to follow retarded teaching trends and scams. But obviously plenty of men do it too nowadays. It's not a surprise that educational standards everywhere used to be much higher when teaching outside of an elementary school level was mostly a male thing. Women don't know how to teach. They just know how to to perform glorified babysitting.

Zoomers really are worse than the previous generation and that speaks volumes as millenials were already cucked as hell. At least Alphas are shaping up to be based.

>>749062341
That has to do with AI more than anything. Using AI during formative years must be some high class poison for your brain. Even people who use AI as adults are getting stupider by the day.

>>749061019
every generation has boomers and zoomers

It's so they can get better test scores quicker. Metrics were established to keep a finger on the pulse, it started influencing funding and reputation and now it's usurped the whole point. Despite it all newer generations are STILL getting better scores.

>>749060773
fuck card counters go read a book

>>749064050
The elite will always vaccinate their kids, educate them without AI, tell their sons to go to college, drink only processed milk, eat a traditionally balanced diet, and get their daughters abortions if they get pregnant at 15. All those guidelines they promote are for the poors.

>>749064050
That's the fault of the generation that created AI and released it without properly guiding the newer generation

>>749065267
A couple billionaires shouldn't be representative of a whole generation.

>you shouldn't generalize!!!
>"posts twitter screenshot" why are all zoomers like this??

>>749064050
AI is just a search engine on steroids. Of course if you have shitty slop parents they won't help your curiosity and knowledge grow and allow you to live in slop.
But if you're good to your kids they won't misuse AI, instead they'll use it to satisfy their curiosity and learn a ton. That's what it's good for, weeding out the slopcels

>>749062341
That's technically been true for almost 200 years.

>>749061019
They're all correct. We've been spiralling downwards all the way back since the almighty sponge.

>retards keep posting this without understanding that cyclical nature of society will always cause this phenomenon to appear, and instead use people complaining of its arising at that time as evidence that it doesn't really exist, ironically perpetuating the cycle

>>749061019
No.

they're all correct, everything always gets worse

Determining how to find a desired piece of information is a skill that needs to be trained.
Sifting through a large amount of data to find the information you were looking for is a skill that needs to be trained.
Recalling previously observed information on command is a skill that needs to be trained.

If someone is brought up from childhood to primarily intake information through Reddit TLDR summaries while simultaneously viewing that information as something that can be called up on a whim through an external source, how much will they actually learn?

No he's right, it was genuinely some retarded teachers that got brainwashed by hippie logic about how the mind works.
My family is full of teachers and they genuinely believe things like phonics are debunked and racist against retards. They think the vibes-based learning (I think it's called Whole of Language) is more effective and the kids are smarter than ever, it's just that a cabal of politicians and principals have manipulated the data so it seems like test scores are lower.

They really just got scammed and still believe the scam.

What did they teach?
