[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dude have you tried to follow how Gen z and alpha talk? It’s unintelligible. They absolutely need to study it. 
Or ya know … we could educate kids so they speak, write, and read in compete thoughts and sentences.
That’s too much work. Let’s just pay for a few consultant’s summer homes and move on.
Whatever.

I have normal Gen Z kids that are capable of effective communication with adults. I’m sorry if your kids are a hot mess.[/quote]

Trust me, as a teacher, your children are the outliers not the norms.

I teach both Gen Z and Gen Alpha kids in high school. Their attention spans are the worst I've ever seen, and AI is only making it worse. They don't want to read anything, not even short passages, and basically want a TL;DR of everything. Their reading comprehension is terrible due to their short attention spans. They also cannot spell worth a damn. They're so used to text lingo and their own shorthand that they've forgotten how to correctly spell simple words like 'something'. It is not at all unusual for me to get assignments turned in with something spelled as sumthin. Something interesting that I learned is that a lot of kids turn off auto-correct on their phones because, and I quote, "Bro, only old people text like that." So without auto-correct on, they continuously misspell words to the point where their phones learn their most-used incorrectly spelled words and auto-suggest them. So when they're doing assignments on their phones, as they all do, they use these incorrect words.

My younger sister teaches 2nd grade and she only has 3 or 4 kids in her class who do not have their own cell phones. Why do 7 and 8 yos need their own phones? [/quote]

A relative is a trades teacher in Germany.  His responsibility is to teach academic  / high school level subjects to students who will not be attending university.

His description is strikingly similar to yours PP:  these you people have almost no attention span and highly stunted communication skills.  They cannot read, analyze, or even comprehend long written passages.  Their short term memory skills are quite poor.

His job has become increasingly difficult to the point it’s nearly impossible.

Back to the topic at hand, if you do not see the obvious problem here, you are truly out of touch and likely living in the past.[/quote]
