[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The iPhone/E generation is coming out strong…different from the 05 birth year when kids didn’t grow up with iPhones or iPads in their hands since K. My 05 dud t have a phone until almost 9th grade. He is/was a voracious reader…hence the perfect in vocab SAT;  and act English & reading.

The math went down for younger Covid kids too.  05 was already through geometry before everything shutdown.

Def see a difference even in my own house. Younger one had to really prep to pull score up. [/quote]

my kids high school teachers say they can see a difference between pre and post cell phones, but they also say they see a cliff after this year's senior class, which they attribute to either Covid and/or explosion of kids using AI to do writing/math/science etc assignments. [/quote]

The difference is few teachers teach, there is no spelling, vocabulary, grammar, no reading books in school, etc.  [/quote]

Honestly this.  My child has APUSH and AP eng lang this year and there is very little teaching going on.  I’m very disappointed- I recall when I took those classes they were lively and the teacher pretty much lectured and taught material the entire class period. It’s all small group “discussions” now  to which most of the kids just look at each other silently or putter around on their Chromebooks  or phones [/quote]
Why do they have Chromebooks out during discussion? Why do they have phones during the day? My kid attends a pretty mediocre high school and neither of these things is allowed. Until they put the screens away even engaging lectures won’t help. [/quote]
