lol. When I was mature age doing Ag. science I laughed at the kids who couldn't read a grid system map. Had no shame about that.
Also putting an = in an excel cell was like magic to them.
I shouldn't laugh either but it made me wonder what the fuck they were taught in HS.
It's actually wild tbh, I have no idea what HS is like and I imagine with the state of the world, the prevalence of social media, and a lack of care in their own education, and a lack of curiosity is driving it.
I have heard anecdotally, that HS students are generally really inattentive and rude in classrooms these days. I do wonder what will happen to them when they finish up and enter "the real world". Will they still receive a pass? Or will reality provide them harsh truths? Will they take on the lessons and change, or double down?
That excel thing also blew the minds of my 50+yo coworkers and bosses at my last job. Millennials do be surrounded by some silly people, god.
Also partly they havenβt realised that the responsibility is fully on them or should be I reckon.
It must be that, but may not explain the mature ages students who done fucked up too π
