You are a great example of why it’s happening. It’s poor lazy parenting that parents justify with endless excuses. You simply don’t care about school, don’t teach your kids to care, and want to blame all kinds of things on that reality. I’m a Millennial parent and teacher and now that most of my students’ parents are Millennials I can say they are the most difficult generation of parents I’ve had to work with as a professional. Endless excuses for their kids. Minimal active parenting. They want no accountability for their kids. They exert zero authority and let their kids run roughshod. The kids are the ones running the homes usually.

They will always claim “they’re just bored / it’s covid / the calendar” blah blah but it comes down to lazy uninvolved parenting that results in kids who can barely attend school or pass classes and then the parents blame the school for that. [/quote]
