Look what happens when kids spend time with their families. Their behavior goes to s&%t.

When my 3 year old couldn't visit her favorite playground for months, yep her behavior got worse.

What? When? The 2020 covid shutdowns? Your child could only develop appropriately if she had access to her one and only favorite playground in the whole world? You were unable to distract a three-year-old sufficiently? She won't even remember the deprivation now, if you mean 2020. Yes, kids need to blow off steam. No, your family should not be so very inflexible you can't take your child for a walk in the woods in the myriad county parks that were still open, even if playgrounds on them weren't. But I have no idea if your post means the brief 2020 shutting of some playgrounds because you didn't bother to give any context. Maybe you live in an apartment and hse needs outdoor time. Understandable. But...her favorite playground only?

This response is part of the bigger picture of what is wrong.

Plenty of people complaining about the state of kids and then when presumably a parent posts something that affected their child they are gaslighted with an essay response of incredulity.

Sorry teachers. It is not looking good for you.

Who’s a gaslighting now? The PP got have done other things with her daughter. Not going to a playground did not impact her whole behavior.

They lack attention span and perseverance because they’re conditioned to have constant stimulation and a quick swipe to the next thing if they’re bored. They lack fine motor skills because they just tap and swipe from a young age. They lack reading and verbal skills because they simply receive input from a screen but rarely generate anything of their own or have to break it down themselves. They lack social skills because they don’t socialize in person as much. Their parents are helpless to turn the ship around at this point so the behaviors simply persist. It’s horrific tbh. Screens have absolutely stunted a generation of children.

Agree. Just watching small children stare vacantly at screens at restaurants, grocery stores … is so depressing. These parents are not teaching, engaging or interacting with their kids. They just stick a phone in front of them.

Teachers can influence behavior while at school for most. They just don’t want to be bothered often.

We learned how to parent from our boomer parents.

Oh wait. They didn’t really parent.

No, I see why you might think that, but I cannot undo your parenting. Your influence is the important one.

We don’t really need to go backward but parents who are having babies now (the younger millennials and Gen Z who will be the next parents), they gotta learn the lesson: you cannot rely on screens to distract, engage, educate your children. Read to your kids, speak to them, take them outside, make them do stuff with their hands and bodies. Do NOT NOT NOT fall into the trap of giving them a screen. Every school aged child right now is a victim of this because if it wasn’t them, they’re sitting in classes filled with kids who were raised on screens and it’s catastrophic.

Parents being disrespectful to schools and teachers was a huge mistake. Nice job teaching your kids to be little a-holes.

I pray you are not a teacher. Of course, the parents are the “important” ones with influence. No one said otherwise. You want no responsibility or a point accountability. “It’s every else’s fault or problem.”

Don’t put any value to a good teacher.

Neither can parents undo your teaching.

Yes I am a teacher. I am well aware of what I’m talking about. We try to encourage the children to make good choices. When they don’t, we call home and you know what we hear? “I can’t control them at school.” “When they’re at school they’re your problem.” “I don’t know what to do either.” In the last 3 years I can count on one hand the parents who cares enough to come to the school, sit down to meet with the teachers, and hold their child accountable for their actions and behaviors. I have 25 kids in each class to teach and manage; I simply cannot, even if I wanted to, outparent you.

This makes no actual sense but ok. Not sure why you’re trying to undo what they learned in algebra
