AI, schools pushing for tech in the classroom, gen Z dumber than the previous generations, third graders with chrome books ( or sooner ), sold a story podcast, and all the posts on this thread about the damages of technology inside and outside the classroom, all this not helped by parents' use of tech around their kids.... it's so deeply discouraging. a colleague (gen z) in my grad program said to me today that there have always been generational differences/tensions, but what I'm observing in classrooms is truly alarming. I teach at a university as part of the program, and even these college kids really struggle with engagement. I can only imagine that it might be slightly better in some private/boarding schools... how do you cope with this nightmarish situation unfolding before our eyes? How do you keep going? I know I could leave a great impact on students but I'm seriously concerned I might not be able to handle all the issues that technology causing. I'm really upset and depressed. I want to make a difference, but it seems futile. submitted by /u/samson-91 [link] [comments]
