[quote=Anonymous]It's not just technology.  It's how they are taught now in K-12.  They are not given textbooks.  They are not expected to take notes.  They are provided extra credit and second chances to re-take tests.  They are taught in block format and have 2 days to complete material.  There is little practice on memorizing facts.  They have 3 devices in their hands all the time.  They had tutors to work with them on individual subjects.  They were front-loaded with material all the way from pre-K to high school by tutors, Kumon, RSM, AoPS, Outschool, Kahn, etc. and therefore were either not in need of taking notes or would just have the tutor re-teach the material directly to them later.  They do not have good classroom habits or manners.  They get up and leave the discussion to go to the bathroom throughout the lectures.  They fight like "Karen's" for even small changes to their grades.  They feel entitled to an A because the tuition is expensive.  They are nasty on social media.  Many things were handed to them over their lifetime, like name brand clothes, vacations, air plane rides, sports tutelage, etc.  They did not have to work as hard to get these luxuries as past generations.  They aren't going to start working hard and taking notes in your class, Op.[/quote]
