[quote=Anonymous]I've taught high school English for 20 years. This generation really does have severe focus issues, do not and in many cases cannot read and understand the same novels kids were able to read and understand even ten years ago. Their vocabularies and ability to write, think, and analyze are markedly lower than ten years ago. And...they don't care. They lack the interest and curiosity in the (real) world around them and in other people that kids had a decade ago. I am heart-broken at what my class has become since the advent of AI, and, to a lesser extent, widespread social media culture in general. I don't know what the solution is, but yes, I am sure average IQs are lower for Gen Z. Perhaps microplastics, environmental reasons, etc play a role? But mostly, it is screens and the advent of AI, and there is no going back and no solution I can see. [/quote]
