[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ivy League professor here. Sorry, haven't read the entire thread, so I may be repeating. First, get your kids off their phones. And their other electronic devices. They do not know how to read, or how to digest large volumes of information. It almost seems as if many of them can't. Their attention spans are gone. Second, probably relatedly, they struggle to engage in deep discussions. They are used to staying quiet and transcribing what they hear from the front of the room, and that's if they're even paying attention/able to pay attention. Third, encourage balance. The best students find a balance between academics and other activities (that aren't screens). One improvement in the newer generation is an openness to mental health care. Fourth, fifth, sixth, and beyond: Get them off their damned screens. [/quote] Great post ! Thank you.[/quote]
