1) A HS diploma doesn't mean anything anymore. It probably mattered in the 50s-90s, but employers don't even ask if you have one now. Arguably a bachelors degree doesn't mean anything anymore now either.

Arguably a bachelors degree doesn't mean anything anymore now either. Students truly struggle to see the financial value in school. A lot their older siblings and parents have student loan debts with low paying jobs. 2) Kids don't face consequences at all. They just get passed through. The only way I can fail a kid is if they were absent the whole semester, but if their butt was in class at least 40 percent of the time, it's almost impossible to fail them. Most teachers I know give 10/10 credit regardless of the diarrhea students hand in. Most kids on my campus have a 3.5 GPA simply for existing. Bonus reason: 3) Chatgpt made remembering facts and critical thinking kind of obsolute (hot take). I sometimes feel like I'm creating assignments from AI just for students to do them with AI and we all pretend learning is happening. 4) Screens have made school very boring. Tiktok releases dopamine a lot more than reading Of Mice and Men. Thoughts? submitted by /u/JimCap5 [link] [comments]
