[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every generation writes this about the subsequence going back to ancient Greece. There's never any truth to it.[/quote]

It's true that older generations always complain about the youths, but pay attention to what veteran teachers and professors are saying. Pay attention to teacher shortages. Pay attention to how many empty teacher preparation programs are. There is a problem, regardless of what was going on in the distant past.[/quote]

It also can't be denied that major changes were made to our education philosophy a decade or so ago.  English Lit and History were downgraded in favor of writing and computer sciences.

At the same time there have been major changes to how basic research is conducted, which are only getting exacerbated by AI.  For instance, the Google algorithm is no longer pure boolean based, it now tries to guess what you are looking for.

Those changes, while well meaning, has had major consequences when it comes to critical thinking and research.

We see the impact on adults.  It is not a stretch to say that those impacts are manifesting themselves in children as well.[/quote]
