I can only speak on my experience as a substitute teacher for 1 year but I found many of the kids to be ill equipped for learning. I was always trying to remember if it was like that when I was in school.

My mom used to be a teacher for 3 years (she quit after last year) at an elementary school and it was really bad. She felt like 75% of her students couldn’t even comprehend what they were supposed to be doing or learning. They were barely even aware of where they were. Only a handful of students she could have actual conversations with and they understood her

We’re seeing a total collapse in our education system because of a lot of societal factors. I don’t think I have all the answers but I know the slow death of the middle class isn’t making it easy to parent

Subbing wasn’t a bad gig. Some days were awful though. I will say no phone laws are probably a good idea but these kids were goblins on the chromebooks.

this, the real question is what is creating these bad parents/these kinds of parents because there have always been shitty parents. just not the way we see today.
