Regarding education, do you think it has anything to do with how the teachers “teach”? Watching my niece go through the education system and graduating this year, it appeared like teachers do less “teaching “ and the online lessons do the teaching. Is that an accurate assessment? If a teacher does not connect the learning subjects to real life situations and experience I could see how students see the subjects as useless. Again it’s a situation of no interpersonal interaction. How much do you think the loss of the traditional teacher/student experience is to blame for boredom and lack of interest?
It's true most of the stuff we do is prepackaged and the teachers don't even seem to actually know about the things they're teaching. I feel like you could cut out everything taught after 5th grade and everyone would have the exact same level of knowledge. People who are curious will keep learning and everyone else would get on with their lives.
Thank you for your responses. I find your above response unsurprising yet sad. On a slightly different subject I have started to discuss some of the more controversial subjects in front of my niece and her friends. The more far-fetched things I mention the more interested they seem to be. For example, I will mention BO & Big Mike, human/child trafficking & celebrity involvement, adrenochrome, I will explain what has been told publicly and what I have found with digging/researching. They ask questions. Not sure how long the discussion stays with them…
Yeah that's pretty true. Mainstream talking points never appeal to zoomers. Stuff about the GDP, low taxes and Ronald Reagan won't appeal to anyone under the age of 40. Most of us expect to own nothing after our parents die and no one has faith in "progress" or prosperity anymore. The darker the rhetoric, the more it will stick for sure.
