Don't worry my dude you build a bunker I'll bring the seeds and green fingers to keep us all fed/medicated cause you know the end of the world is gonna be stressful and taxing on our mental health
Instead of helping the kid catch up faster, they set them up for failure for life as whole. It’s the equivalent of seeing a kid floating in a 4ft pool and deciding it’s good enough to throw them into the 10ft current pool
The worst part about it is that schools wanna look good, so they force teachers to put in 50s instead of zeros for missing assignments. I graduated HS two years ago and had teachers who followed this policy since 2017. So many kids who 100% deserved to fail got past just because the school did not want to look bad to the school board 🙄
As an older gen alpha(13) who was not allowed on the internet till I was 10-11 it hurts me to see the younger kids I interact with so fixated on electronics
I was on the internet at a young age as a gen alpha but I turned out fine I'm still mature and that is thanks to my mom and to my Dada for always making sure a have a big imagination 😊
@Yuri_draws yes but that's debatable. gen z is saying that gen alpha starts at 2012, gen alpha is saying that gen alpha starts at 2010 so you get to chose ig
thanks the gods you and your parents are normal and great i would encourage you to work hard and explore your talents. your competition will be so weak, you will be able to run circles around them all day and have a great prosperous life.
I'm a Gen alpha to but I was normal but my mom says "WHY CAN YOU BE NORMAL" i don't know if I have depression or autism or adhd but I had old toys and when I was a kid my family was poor and NOT ALL GEN ALPHAS ARE LIKE THIS and I all so don't know what Rizz or the G thing is skibidi thing
I am early gen Z (2003). My brother was born in 2019 and I am extremely dissatisfied and annoyed with my parents for the way they are “raising” him. When I was young there were rules, when they said something it meant something and I HAD to do what they said otherwise I would get punished, not by my phone being taken or computer taken… i was not allowed outside to play with my friends! Now, with my brother they have no authority over him, he literally says NO when told something and then throws a tantrum and gets off the hook. Of course he also has a tablet to which he is glued the whole day. I am sad for him that he won’t experience playing outside in a group of 20/30 kinds from dusk till dawn. Sad that if he doesn’t have his tablet he doesn’t know how to play, with or without toys. And whenever I call them out on their shitty parenting they get angry and tell me I can raise my own kids however I want when I have them. I try to be a good brother and get him off the tablet and invite him to go play outside or play a board game together but he would rather what skibidi toilet on TH-cam shorts… I am worried about what will become of him.
i can relate. its an addiction. they go FERAL if you take the ipad away. as long as they have good parental controls on the ipad, thats all you can do :(
Same here, 2005 with an actual medical disability, little sister is 2012, she has no concept of actual reality. Our parents "didn't discipline me" according to her... no child, before you existed I got the belt when I misbehaved. That being said, her perception of discipline is getting her technology taken away. There's no actual punishment for her, the reason I'm the "good child" is because I saw actual consequences and got the message THE FIRST TIME.
Lemme guess, your parents say they’re too tired to do anything about it. I’m an elementary teacher and all I hear from many parents is that they are too tired to raise their kids. Maybe, Susie dear, YOU AND BRADLEY SHOULDA KEPT YOUR CLOTHES ON IF YOU WEREN’T GONNA EXPEND THE TIME NEEDED TO RAISE YOUR CHILD! I’m sorry, but that is such a BS excuse and I take zero pity on parents who say that and hand their kids screens as pacifiers. Fight me.
I’m a gen alpha (13) but I sadly did grow up with electronics and I’ll be completely honest, not a good idea on my parents part at all (especially without parental supervision) I saw many things I shouldn’t have and have done many things I shouldn’t have either and it still haunts me every night. I’ve developed a depressive disorder because of all the negativity I was given on the internet when I was younger that I have to be medicated for. So future parents out there please PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR KIDS and please GIVE THEM A GOOD CHILDHOOD!!!
@@Dr.fayg0 the most common thing I hear from parents is that they’re too busy for their kids. And it breaks my heart, because if you’re too busy for your kids, you shouldn’t have had them to begin with. It goes against my religious beliefs, but I think there should be licensing for whether or not people can reproduce. If your go-to method of “parenting” is a screen, no baby for you. And I get it, parenting can be exhausting. I’m pregnant now and all I wanna do is sleep. But if you’re just giving your kid a screen, just so you can be on yours in peace, that’s not responsible, that’s not “too busy,” that’s negligent.
Thats devastating! Idk what happened irl right now but i suggest you to have "phone breaks" when you use things that have limited use but still entertaining. Eg books, play stations, nintendo, tv, mobile phones etc etc.
I saw kids no older than 7 scrolling on TIKTOK at restaurants multiple times. How tf do they even know to lie about their age when making an account??? Unless the parent set up the account for them, which is even WORSE.
my stepkid's mom actually set him up a TikTok account, when he was 6...with the help of some friends, it was reported and shut down, but pretty sure damage had been done by then...awful. Now she just has him in her vids...
That is sickening. I remember once in like the 2010's that my younger cousin was on his phone while my grandmother was talking to him & I told him to put it down...his parents stood there like nothing & looked at me odd. I don't give a flying rat's ass --- straight up disrespect. Such ridiculous self-centered behaviour. *puke*
Yeah like.. why are you surprised that your kid is addicted to his iPad when he sees the iPad more than he sees you? It always feels like they’re tryna get sympathy for the mess THEY made
It makes me so mad that people get upset about iPad kids but no one looks at the parents. It’s parents failing to parent children. To actually watch them and take care of them. Instead they give them electronics so they don’t have to do shit.
I’ve got family who have nearly cussed me out because I said teachers know who the iPad babies are. They took personal offense and whined to my husband about it. I will die on that hill. No tablets in this house.
It's a systemic failure. People love to complain (Rightfully) that there isn't enough time in a day to live life with how unbalanced work/life has become, but then shame parents that are going through the exact same struggle. Too nuanced to get into in a YT comment, but I think it's just as lazy to blame the parents as it is to let your kid be on a screen 24/7. It's akin to the millennial kid obesity epidemic (Which was also related to work life balance), I don't blame Gen X parents for that, more so a system that made it possible/encouraged that behavior.
It's obviously the parent's fault. I don't blame younger people, and I don't think they are "worse" or "doomed" but I will blame the parents. They should know. Especially if they are millennials, and know how it can mess up someone to be online all day long. Both my kids are millennials, and I remember that they were limited to 1 hour per day on internet, and they were not allowed to speak to strangers. They had messenger, and MySpace, but they were allowed to speak to family members, and other kids they knew at school.
I’m in high school and I can see the problems with the school system, so far in ONE year 14 of the teachers left the school (around 1k students) which really is saying something
@@redpotato696 in my previous district, nine specials teachers, including me, resigned this year, but the community was pissed off because the district threw away a bunch of old desks, books, and equipment.
Me and my friends have a running joke about "art teacher of the month" because of how often they left. (We were literally placing bets on when certain teachers would leave. It was THAT BAD. Some of them were accurate too.)
Unrestricted access to the Internet lead me to see my first beheading video at 12 years old, now did it scar me, a little bit but that wasn't the worst thing ive seen on the Internet.
WHAT 😭 dang i have unrestricted access to the internet and always wondered how do people even find those things? the word i did was find corn when i was around 13-14 but BUT how do you guys find murder videos?
@@saguaroK Honestly it just happens, sadly there are some sick idiots out there that will hide said videos behind something cute. For example I remember when I was younger looking up funny cat videos and crap like that, it had hard cut to a man shooting himself, they hide them well sadly and it can take a while for youtube or tik tok to even start cracking down on them.
@@saguaroKYou won’t find that stuff on sites like TH-cam. You’ll mainly find it through other people sending stuff to you or through obscure(ish) websites.
As an Xer, there was no such thing as family conversations at dinner. There was Dad bitching to Mom about something random, eating his food in about ten minutes flat, and then exiting the table with the chair pulled out to go off and do sometihng else, leaving Mom and me to finish then clear up after him. If Mom finished at the same time, I'd be left behind at the table in the dark to finish alone and then be expected to go help Mom with the washing up before being banished to my room til the followwng day. I was not encouraged to speak AT ALL. My parents were Silent Gen, the era of children being SEEN but not heard.
I got it tough, ADHD, Autism, Gender Dysphoria, Depression, Anxiety, but a supportive and caring household got me on the medications that i need to function normally. I notice a lot of the kids in gen alpha being dumb videos are a lot like when i was before i was on medications.
@@shirashiraonthewall It's a reflection that got me thinking about the kind of productions I've been personally working on. I work as a cleanup artist for 2d animation, which means I take care of rough animation, clean every line up, and once the scene is all tidy, I'll send it over to color department. In the most recent production I was in, we were constantly given one or two seconds long scenes (along to longer ones of course), and to me it not only it felt like something ordinary, but it was even a bit of a relieve - shorter scenes means less drawings to cleanup, and I can send them back in faster and move on with my day. But then when we got a mid-production montage and now that the scenes were actually flowing one after the other, the frequent changes, and the bright colors, and the more active parts created this weird effect of overstimulation, in a sense. And what I know is a 22 minutes long episode began to feel like an eternity. And one day we had someone else in the studio talking about another show that she wasn't personally involved in, but she said that when she saw the montage it felt the exact same. Too fast-paced and too colorful for her to really enjoy. You can also see it from older anime, just how much things jave changed in terms of pacing and scenes timing; maybe there were less frames, or less movement of the chatacters, but the whole thing could feel more readable and relaxing.
@@angelicariccardi131 thing is the scientists/psychologists know that the quick 1-2 second flashes are what keeps kid brains hooked and looking for the next, and looking at the tv. it's the kiddie crack that gets mentioned. crazy how I've watched my step kid watch content like that and zombie out in front of it. I have my kid watch books, a channel called vooks, where it's longer stories being read and way different attention spans...lol dang this is why I prefer older anime too!
As a mother of a one year old... I'm about to start doing things really really differently and I am kicking myself for being one of those parents. If you posted this to change someone's mind, you've accomplished it. Literally throwing the tablet his grandpa got for him AWAY RIGHT NOW
@@roo-tt6by yea, just go to settings and set a limit. Tbh a 1 year old should have less an hour a day. Well, not “each day” but if he has it less than a hour
@@Mercygrim96 you’re going to hear a lot of opinionated parents telling you that you couldn’t possibly know how to teach if you don’t have kids your own. I’m a teacher, and I do want to expand my family, but to each their own. I’ve just heard quite a few parents tell me that I don’t have a dog in the race when it comes to discipline.
Same here. I don't even have a desire for any relationship that's beyond platonic friendship, lol (aroace spectrum, but also just sex repulsed and don't care for that kind of commitment)! I shall enjoy my freedom, thanks.
yeah I remember when gen z had the "violent videogames" era when parents were really concerned that we become mindless criminals because we played gta 5 at the age of 13 lol.
That was more Millennials. By the time the Oldest of Gen Z became Teenagers that had largely died down. If anything I seen some parts of Gen Z trying to revive that mess on there own because most of the second half of the generation has somehow decided that fiction reflects reality.
I’m an older gen Alpha (2012), and I genuinely HATE my generation. I swear to God, only about 4 (me included😍) people in my class are actually well behaved and are trying hard in life. My parents’ main tactic of parenting is giving us an Ipad and telling us to go to our rooms.🙄 My 8 year old brother has already fallen into brainrot (He’s obsessed with Poppy Playtime rn, send help), but i’m tryna save myself with doing art and stuff.
My husband and I have drawn a very firm line in the sand and have said no tablets for our kids. We go to family dinners with his family and all his nephews are on one to three screens at freaking dinner. It makes ME feel overstimulated. We’re also drawing the line with my family and saying no to my Amazon/Temu/Wish junkie mother, because you can’t even walk around her house, it’s floor-to-ceiling with online garbage. Whatever demons we can avoid, we will make a strong effort to avoid them.
I was born in 2001, and let me tell you how SHOCKED I was when I watched old home videos of my family and I and how involved everyone is. Sure, you could always read a book or listen to music if you wanted, but no one was glued to them. The attention span is normal and everyone seems to be enjoying each other’s company like way more. I’m glad I didn’t grow up with an Ipad in my face and these kids deserve better. We really need to limit these for everyone, not just kids. Can’t imagine how harmful it must be to their development
@@peytoncollins3962 anytime I say parents should not give their kids screens as downtime, people get pissed. Whenever I say teachers know who the iPad babies are, people get pissed. Then they yell at me because I don’t have any of my own kids yet. So I don’t have a dog in the race. Listen, Becky, I’ve had about 350 dogs in this race-even if they’re not my own, they’ve taught me a lot for when I do have my own.
Kids should not be alowed any social media, especially social media where they can post photos of their faces. Kids aren't mature enough to understand that there are really, really fucking awful people on the internet. Hell not even I can fully understand this shit. Parents need to control what their kids are watching if they are to let them use electronics. When I was 11 I downloaded discord and twitter because I got curious and while nothing utterly disgusting happened directly to me, I found a friend around the same age as me on disc who was 12 at the time who vented to me about being groomed. Neither I nor them knew what it actually was and looking back at it I'm disgusted. I fucked around and found out. I abandoned or maybe even terminated both of my accounts and never came back to them. This was before I found out what the situation meant, but I don't regret this decission at all. After finding abt it I never downloaded most of the social media apps with the exception of youtube and wattpad.
they should have limited access to social media (meaning they can't post on any social media, and certain ones *COUGH COUGH TWITTER* should be inaccessable) by the start middle school(10-11yrs). they should have a screen time limit and parental controls until they are in 7th-8th grade at the EARLIEST. obviously your choice, but that's how I was raised and right now I'm doing fine (im going into 8th grade lol.) that is, if you think they are mature enough. if they are acting childish then they shouldn't have social media.
and you should give them a phone for them to carry because around middleschool is when they get devious ideas (running away and junk) and turn on tracking. because even if you raised an innocent child, it only takes one bad parent in the whole school and your child could be exposed to stuff you don't want them seeing. Just saying.
@@callmeangie867 I hate people who act like you need your own to know how to properly parent. no, no you don't. and non-parents tend to make better parents.
I’m Zoomer-Alpha, but i’m not a “sephora kid” or a “skibidi toilet, sigma” or whatever. I play outside, i spend my time with friends, not with the phone.
I worked in education for 7 years, getting out of it in 2016. Over that time, I could see the beginning of the decline. It became very easy to identify those kids who had been raised on devices. 1. Extremely limited attention span - usually 2-3 mins at best. Easily bored and distracted. 2. Poor memory - unable to retain something that was covered moments before. 3. Zero imagination - unable to think up an original idea. 4. Stunted communication / interaction skills - no understanding of group work, turn-based activities, etc. 5. Academically backward - several years behind in numeracy and literacy. Eight years later and I can't imagine how bad things must be now.
Born in 2006, 18 yr old Gen Z. Whenever I rage a lot playing Xbox 360 games, my mum takes it away for days lol. Disciplining your kids isn’t abuse, it’s how we teach them to learn and be a better person.
@@therealzemokuOSC Soo, are you corrent or content? Because I know how accurately you are without saying the word of correct in the most significant way to say proper detailed correction or the interpretation of accuracy correct. (If you don't know, look back at your words and try to understand again what you're trying to reply with lol) Did you get it? Corrent. Accurate. Correct.
You know what's sad? I was supervising a grade 1 class (since as an older grade you do that for like a school job since our school is fucking broke) and there was no imagination. No imagination. Sure they were drawing pictures. But it was pictures of skibidi toilets and grimace shakes 💀. WHERE IS THE IMAGINARY FRIENDS???? COME ON
I remember drawing a fantasy cat selector for my friend or something AND made her pick her cat and then drawing it to her😭(she probably has it somewhere still)
I didn't really have imaginary friends, and my drawing skills were terrible then, but I once drew a whole playroom when I was told we'd be moving. Drawings were very clunky, but I had imagination. What is wrong with other parents and kids?
Man I’m a gen alpha kid and I don’t want to be “that girl” but ngl I was helping my friend do her math and she didn’t know what 2 x 10 was SHE IN THE 7TH GRADE 💀💀💀💀🙏🙏🙏
I'm 27 and graduated highschool with many people who couldn't read, and not just at grade level they could barely read at all. And graduated highschool and are now my age with almost no understanding. I had to teach myself how to read, write, tell time, roman numerals, math. I've self tought how to build computers, but sadly MANY people cannot teach themself which is fine and normal. It's just sad how we are so obsessed with things like, plastic surgery, looking "sexy", social media in general is a cesspool that promotes zero life skills or anything important. It's fun of course we all love entertainment, but when the entartainment becomes the education you'll end up with the intellect of a stunted toddler.
Same here dude, I was born in 1996 and graduated high school in December of 2014. Some students in my high school couldn't do basic maths, logic reasoning or writing. Parents started using screens, whether iPads, Nintendo 3Ds, Video Games, or laptops, as a way to babysit their kids so they can be lazy and negligent in 2006 to 2011, before that it was tv, but at least the parents generally held control and access to the tv remote. It has also just gotten much more worse and much more widespread now, which is sad. I myself also find myself being too addicted to screens some days, and the internet culture is not as positive and fun as it was when I was a child or even a teenager using it, it is mostly negative and/or neutral nowadays. I feel like the more negative side/aspects and less positive/fun sides of the internet began taking over around 2016 to 2017. Brainrot internet culture also existed when I was a kid and a teenager however, and it led to some kids ignoring their school education in replacement of internet entertainment. I really wish there was a mandatory "parenting children" year long class that adults have to take once they become parents or will become parents in the future.
as a 2010 kid, my little sister is a 2015 kid and watches the STRANGEST things on youtube. like…she watches amazing digital circus videos…the weird kind. you know what i watch? total drama season uploads, cosplay complations, and web series like disventure camp (highly recommend checking it out) like…its so weird seeing my sister watch things like that
What’s also different about iPad kids content is the lack of commercials. There’s ads but there isn’t a 2-5 minute commercial break between scenes and shows. Those commercial breaks allowed for boredom and going and doing things like going outside during a show you don’t like or going and getting a toy or snack, having that lapse in attention and boredom is really important for kids Shows like coco melon don’t have that break, it’s just content, content and more content with bright colours and no space for the brain to breathe or process it
I'm a high school teacher in an affluent district and yes, can confirm most of the students here read/write at a fourth grade level. It's to the point where most students-even the "honors" students-have no idea when they're supposed to capitalize a letter in a sentence, let alone use punctuation like commas. Most of them use extensions like Grammarly on their laptops/Chromebooks, and will type in all lowercase and will mindlessly use Grammarly to automatically correct their grammar. Take away the tool, and they have no idea what to do. The thing is, that BECAUSE they have these tools, it does not matter how many refresh grammar lessons we try to give, or how many times I tell them to "always capitalize the first letter of the sentence, and any forms of I including contractions," it goes in one ear and out the other. There's no need to listen to me or any other adult when they can just keep using Grammarly and co. Ask any high school teacher right now, and they'll say that they're all dying to just take a few weeks and rebuild foundational reading/grammar skills from the ground up, but there's just no time. So onto the curriculum. If they're all reading at a 4th grade level, what do we do about their English and Literature classes? Well, while we ease them into the year with a lower reading level graphic novel (which, surprise surprise, they all find very boring and aren't quiet about voicing these opinions), after that, they're expected to read all the same books previous generations read in school. But because books aren't as stimulating as what things like Tiktok have accustomed their brains to expect, they just won't read the books. But it doesn't matter if they do read it or not, because all the kids can't fail in a class-admin would never allow it. So if grades are down, another assignment is created as an easy A grade booster. Yes, grade inflation is out of control, and no, the teacher's can't do anything about it. The decisions come from way above us. So, whether or not they read any of the assigned books on their own, not only will students pass the class, but they will pass it with stereotypically good grades. The only way we as teachers can ensure they've read the book is if we literally read it TO them in class, so that's what we do. But even then, their reading comprehension skills are just not there to understand the text. In Special Ed classrooms like Resource Rooms, we can get away with reading 4th grade level books (which, by the way, has REALLY helped the kids rekindle their love of books and reading), but in General Ed? No, the parents/district leaders/admin/the state would throw a fit. We'd be a national new's story. And so, struggling through the high school curriculum it is. This turned into quite a long explanation. I do really enjoy my job-to be clear-but just like all jobs, there are some rough aspects to it.
My 5 year old brother watches TH-cam Shorts 24/7 without parental controls. He dosen't even read his Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books. I read them instead when i'm feeling anxious/streesed/furious to cheer me up.
As a 13 yo I can confirm that even I think these younger kids are DOOMED like yes I had an ipad when I was younger but I didn’t throw tantrums when it was taken and I still played with toys and outside. And as a teen I do shop at Sephora but I use safe products and am respectful. But these little ones are CRAZY AND DOOMED FOR LIFE!
I know but these kids are still going to eventually have the consequences stay around for much longer than just childhood. Many kids even in my grade still lose it over the fact they can’t have phones in class
once somebody in my class had a temper tantrum at hometime with literally no reasoning, he was throwing chairs around, knocking desks over, etc, and it got so bad that the last handful of students in the classroom had to be evacuated to the classroom next door and i was having a meltdown over it (I suffer with autism and anxiety and my taxi usually isn't called for until everybody else has gone)
@shirashiraonthewall wait I'm not a millennial? You said 1981-1996 I'm 97😢 are u fkn kidding me ill be damned being a fucking gen z fucc that by 1 fkn yr really.
My little cousin is an iPad kid and he literally slapped his sister when she asked him if he wanted to go outside. He's ten, she's 13 and yet she gets in trouble for "distracting him"?
I'm gen z and my cousin is a millennial. I've watched her raise her gen alpha kids by just placating them with an iPhone. She let's her young daughter use tiktok and thinks it's fine. I don't think all gen Alpha is doomed. But her kids are. She still acts like a 22 year old at 32 and it's terrifying
As the oldest representative of gen Alpha, I can verify that as a Freshman in high school, I personally know people who failed pre-algebra and were held back from going to High School. There weren’t just a few people, at least 30 students were forced to stay. My algebra teacher also told me that this year, she had three full classes, and this year she only has one class with 20 or so students.
@@dummyc7595Gen Alpha starts between 2010 and 2013 depending on who you ask. So the first kids born in 2010 started high school this year, and these kids are terrible (I’m a senior). They’re saying they’re dumbing down the curriculum because of these new freshmen. And more kids doing dumb shit in the first week of school. So what difference does it make?
@@shirashiraonthewallThat’s not true honey those rules don’t exist gen alpha is 7th grade and younger in 2024 so 12 and below. Please learn to accept that and move on with your life and don’t go be rude to younger gen z’s.
I’ve been told that because Gen Alpha kids are causing so many problems in my city’s middle school and two elementary schools that my high school will dumb the curriculum down next school year to make room for when the first Gen Alpha kids reach high school. Fortunately after I graduate since I just started 12th grade, but my younger sister will still have to suffer through it.
We can't really tell now if they are doomed. We grew up with Call of duty, Happy tree friends, the unhinged entertainment and Hollywood world, Every generation has had their flaws but eventually they will grow up normal. It's like the central limit theorem. In the end they will end up like average good people
I am 18 years old and I don't even have any ipad while my 9 years old cousin brother got their own ipads, phones, and computers. I had to prove myself to my parents to get A PHONE at my 14th birthday. When I was like 9, I was allowed to use laptop only on the weekends. Now, I don't have facebook, tiktok, insta, and even wattpad. I can focus on my studies more and know about the value of an electronic device. I used to hate my parents for being so strict but I feel grateful that I am not having brain rot rn.
Great responsible parents tbh. I am alowed to have any social media as long as I ask for premission but I pretty much only use youtube and wattpad. Social medias suck
@@saguaroK nah. I do love my mother but still I have a sour relationship with my father.

@@Gooseking65 yesh it sucks cus I see my friends who are very superficial posting online and stuff. They want to look rich and elite and I can't deal with these people.
Back when we had a family computer in 2010 my mom noticed I went on moviestarplanet a lot and decided to check it out and then came into my room and started beating me for talking to random people online. She then deleted my character and account in front of my eyes. After she threw me on her bed and locked me in her bedroom with a random book to read. I was extremely sad but ended up reading and liking the book she gave me to read.
This is actually abuse (beating and locking your child up for normal kid things, not having them read), A far more proper reaction would be to actually explain the dangers to the child, and maybe set some parental controls on the device. But not this.
Ok i hate when people are saying the whole generation is stupid or something because it feels like just American thing. i`m living in Poland and I`m 14 some of the kids in school are talking about skibidi toilet and this type of things but they are joking most of the times and younger kids are reading in kindergarten. People my age know/learn 3 languages. i`m sorry if what I was trying to say is not clear but I just wanted to say that people who are saying whole generation is doomed have to think about other countries not just america. Thank you for reading have a great day
I live in the US and my mom teaches english to those learning, I will say a lot of them (except the Chinese kids, as someone who lived in asia Chinese kids can be wild) are much better behaved. However many American children are normal.
16:29 Some ninth graders have ruined my artworks multiple times despite the three "do not touch" signs on the display... and their teacher didn't even see who did it?? And obviously they didn't confess so they got away with it. My friend had pages ripped out of their sketchbook which was in our class' shelf. My class can't display our stuff now; we just put them in the closet, and that kind of ruins the whole purpose of art.
I’m technically gen alpha but I’m not like these kids, I can go out places without a screen, I can put it down to eat, I go outside (wow), I can read, I can write. I entirely blame parents for if their kids act like this.
Smallest generation ever with only 38 million and Gen Z with double that. Back when Covid lockdown hit I didn’t have a phone or iPad or the internet so I played outside with my dad for hours and these kids have the WORST manners my siblings and parent would crush me if I was bad manners

It boils down to parenting in the 2000’s there were “tv kids” who never played outside and but my parents didn’t buy a tv made a point for us to play outside…
I watched tv a lot of times as you had mentioned from your comment. Though, I can't say the same thing since I got dragged out of my hometown into my cousin's village all the time as a child throughout my life soooo No wifi, no smartphone except old classical laptop and probably going into neighbor houses for fun Heck, I still remember me and my cousins did blind food challenge at our neighbor house as children That was around 2014, quite a long time ago (I'm 18 now if you're wondering) As for the old laptop, we basically played Plants vs Zombies, offline games and gta (for some reason, I have it- I believe my older gen z brother was the one who downloaded it in the first place) Oh, I won't forget I have Sims in my old laptop as well 😂 I almost forgot about it but at least my memories is still a little vivid. I even play ROM games in my laptop too, almost all of my brothers invaded my laptop or should I say... It used to be theirs ofc lol
I’d say it really depends on the parents and the person’s behavior, like some 2010 kids are absolutely gen alpha behaviorally but some kids in the same age range can be behaviorally gen Z, but I’d say 2012 is a hard cutoff. (Of course, this is my own opinion and you don’t have to agree with me, just offering input)
@@LyrLyrPantsOnFyrYour range is fine but for me it would be like this to keep 2010-2012 and add 2009 and 2013, that is, it would be like this 2009-2012 (Zalpha gene with a tendency to z) maybe late 2012 and early 2013 50/50. and mid-late 2013 with (alpha trend)
yesterday I was babysitting a 10 yr old boy and girl. When it was time for dinner they couldn't eat because of their iPads. So took away the iPads saying"you can have them after u eat." lemme tell u they threw the most biggest fit I have ever seen. I blame it on the parents.
I agree a lot of millennials don’t have a village but not for the reason that you said. 24:01 I think they don’t have a village cuz the village is tired. Families are tired of having to deal with their kids awful behavior or deal with kids unable to interact with the adults in their lives. There’s a lot of entitlement around parents “needing a break” but not raising their kids to exist in an environment outside of their care. These kids aren’t taught how to exist in an unfamiliar or possibly uncomfortable environment, I saw when I taught preschool. You could see children who had unlimited screen time and those who got it as a treat or when they met behavior expectations. I just think the village is tired.
the gen alpha kids in my highschool were unhinged the moment they arrived💀 a small group of them followed my friend home. half of them is currently addicted to brawl stars and play it whenever they can the other half is being super obnoxious in the cafeteria. Now, I do have to say that some of them are completely fine and normal. ultimately I blame the parents, but even then they can't always do something about it. for example my little brother went playing at a friends house and he and his friend ended up watching a movie that wasn't exactly meanr for their age, he came out absolutely traumatized and scared of the dark all over again. All of that because his friend had unrestricted acces to netflix.
@@CamilaGrant-r2t no oldest gen alpha are 14 they've been in highschool two years some three depending on when they were born. Though depending on where you live our education systems may be different.
@@abbyequestrian3349 hey, dude. I just googled it to be sure and gen alpha started in 2010. If you don't want to believe me that's fine. Also it's still depending on the education system because high school starts in my country around 12-13 some might skip a grade and then it'd be 11 or something like that. We don't have middle school in my country so that might help to understand better.
"Don't the parents punish their kids?" I went to a behavioral school when I was younger because i had problems with authority and there was a kid that was hitting and cussing at people and when his parents came to get him he was told that if he calmed down and went back to class he can have gold fish when he came home ok sorry schools don't just carry gold fish around for when kids are bad and disrespectful.. (Sorry for all my grammar issues.. i have no idea what's going on with my brain this morning 😅 )
Same. I was absolutely flabbergasted on how phones in like year 2 was a normal thing. In my family you only get phone once you start walking to and from school home alone so it’s so shocking how much people get handed them before using two digits to write their age.
I just finished high school in June and have met a lot of freshmen last year, and they're the most sane of the bunch. When I was an ambassador, though, I gave tours to 7th and 8th graders, and oh my, they're either quiet or loud. My first and second group were super quiet (12 year olds), I even told them they could ask questions, and they just stayed quiet. And I know these are social kids because they were talking amongst themselves before I gathered them around. My first group of 7th graders, though (so age 11), were so crazy that they could not stop trying to talk over me. I had to raise my voice up a little bit and center them. Oh, and the words they say- like it's not English??
Oh shut up kid, Being Gen Alpha isn't the worst thing ever, you don't automatically become a "Skibidi Kid" just cause you're Gen Alpha. Relax, you'll be fine!
As a Gen Z born in late 2002, I'm glad I only got an iPad at 9 years old and could only play video games or use TH-cam for half an hour. And I'm glad I grew up on movies and shows that aired on Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon instead of those Elsagate, Skibidi Toilet, and (saving the worst for last) CoComelon garbage that should all go bite Bender's shiny metal ass.
I went to a 2 year olds house my mom wanted to show her the potty training video she used for me which was elmo SHE WAS SCARED OF ELMO and just wanted to watch coco melon 😭
@@John-s1s7e Yeah. SpongeBob, Clifford, and Arthur are good shows as well. It's ok if you don't like Bluey, but I've watched a few episodes and it's a genuinely great show as well.
I am a very late gen z (2008) and literally half my school is failing and every freshman group that comes in somehow gets worse. The only classes in my school that actually somewhat try are the ap or honors classes. If your in the normal ones then good luck on trying to learn
please let's not put 2010 in gen alpha. Here is the text from Wikipedia: “Pew Research Center describes Generation Z as spanning from 1997 to 2012. Both the United States Library of Congress and Statistics Canada have cited Pew's definition of 1997-2012 for Generation Z. In a 2022 report, the U.S. Census designates Generation Z as those born 1997 to 2013.”

fun fact: the parents choose their childrens’ future. That first clip with that child screaming was totally the mothers fault. if I was her (as a gen alpha…) I would’ve snatched the iPad, scolded the child, and popped then in the mouth? It’s that moms fault that the child yelled at her like that. 🤷♀️
I am either one of the youngest gen z's or one of the oldest gen alphas, with gen x parents(yes, I can read/spell properly), and I used to watch iPad when I was younger as a phase. If I took it out during family conversations or when guests came, my parents would yell at me about it. If I dared to yell back, I would've gotten smacked across the face, so I would have to put it away when I was told to. 2:09 if I did that in a restaurant with any device, my parents are going to tell me to put it away the millisecond I take it out unless if it something important. I only watch TH-cam on my phone when I am eating alone otherwise Ima get a whole lecture of how I don't appreciate my family. Plus, I always loved going outside to touch grass and I still go outside every day. I also have the fear of getting punished when I misbehave at school and at home. I get so excited to see a video because I hate reading large articles. TV is NOT boring it is the best thing to watch vids/shows on. YT kids before 2020 was literally so family friendly now it's the exact opposite. These parents are literally spoiling their kids, and they have to stop doing it! btw u earned a sub and your kitty cat, Edgar, is adorable!!!
As a late gen x or 'xennial" parent with a 5 year old, I understand being tired and needing a break and tablets can help, however there needs toma balance with screen time and regular play with toys and time outside with their friends. I do think kids need to be able to be bored and learn to use their imaginations.
I am 14. I got a phone last year (7th grade) and had a flip phone (with the numbers and dial button) until then. I got made fun of so bad for my phone because my 11 year old peers had the newest iPhone with no restrictions. I have an iPhone 6s with so many restrictions that I can’t make a google search about a kids movie 😂. I am thankful to my parents though because I was not given the option to have social media from a young age (I may scroll TH-cam on my mom’s computer for like 10 minutes a day but that’s pretty much it) because now I am happier and more confident in my body image. Parents, this is your sign to not let your kids get or use electronics until they have proved they are responsible enough to balance their iPad with their life.
I get people struggle with learning, especially at my age since I’m young but I may not know how to spell good, but I know how to spell cat duck and other things. .
When i was raised in easter Europe by my parents we had very strict rules for using electronics. I got a tablet when i was 8 and could only use it on weekends for 4h a day and got my first phone only after passing a grade with high enough annual grade point average. That applied to both my older sister and younger brother since we were simmiliar ages, but now when i have even younger sister and literal toddler brother the rules lossened up for them i guess beacuse they don't really have anyone to play with beacuse of the age gap that's between us. Scoldings and punishments were also used for which im thankfull for beacuse it helped me to learn discipline and like made me think before i do something.

@@callmeangie867 I'm so sorry. You deserve so much better. I know from my own perspective it's frustrating to try and learn when surrounded by interruptions, but I can't begin to imagine how it feels to be a teacher (especially with the pay and inflation nowadays).
When I was in 4th grade I was reading at a 2nd grade level, and my teacher worked HARD to get me to like reading. But she could only do that because I was one of the very few in the class that wasn’t reading at level, and I had fantastic parental involvement. These poor fucking kids. Absolutely heart breaking.

My brother and I had several stuffed animals, and I remember one of our favorite pastimes was making parades with them, haha. We’d line them up and march them in columns all around the house, hahaha. Looking back, it seems kind of silly, but I also remember how much fun we had coming up with their dialogues and making them move in formation. We could spend hours doing that. The bike, roller skates, skateboards, scooters, our dog and adventure buddy, pogs, balls... childhood memories are my greatest treasure. Videogames and cartoons were fine, but who can refuse an real life adventure over them!
I'm a child free millennial and some of my friends my age had the TV as a baby sitter because their parents didn't care. So yeah I can see why millennial parents use the ipad as a baby sitter.
okay, I’m gonna admit it, I only missed gen alpha status by a tiny amount, but I gotta thank my parents for not giving me a phone until I was like 11 years old. i actually played in the dirt when I was younger, and just a few years later they aren’t doing that anymore.

I am early gen Z (2003). My brother was born in 2019 and I am extremely dissatisfied and annoyed with my parents for the way they are “raising” him. When I was young there were rules, when they said something it meant something and I HAD to do what they said otherwise I would get punished, not by my phone being taken or computer taken… i was not allowed outside to play with my friends! Now, with my brother they have no authority over him, he literally says NO when told something and then throws a tantrum and gets off the hook. Of course he also has a tablet to which he is glued the whole day. I am sad for him that he won’t experience playing outside in a group of 20/30 kinds from dusk till dawn. Sad that if he doesn’t have his tablet he doesn’t know how to play, with or without toys. And whenever I call them out on their shitty parenting they get angry and tell me I can raise my own kids however I want when I have them. I try to be a good brother and get him off the tablet and invite him to go play outside or play a board game together but he would rather what skibidi toilet on TH-cam shorts… I am worried about what will become of him.
i can relate. its an addiction. they go FERAL if you take the ipad away. as long as they have good parental controls on the ipad, thats all you can do :(
Same here, 2005 with an actual medical disability, little sister is 2012, she has no concept of actual reality. Our parents "didn't discipline me" according to her... no child, before you existed I got the belt when I misbehaved. That being said, her perception of discipline is getting her technology taken away. There's no actual punishment for her, the reason I'm the "good child" is because I saw actual consequences and got the message THE FIRST TIME.
Same here, but...
You could have segmented this into paragraphs. Makes it easier to read.
Lemme guess, your parents say they’re too tired to do anything about it. I’m an elementary teacher and all I hear from many parents is that they are too tired to raise their kids. Maybe, Susie dear, YOU AND BRADLEY SHOULDA KEPT YOUR CLOTHES ON IF YOU WEREN’T GONNA EXPEND THE TIME NEEDED TO RAISE YOUR CHILD! I’m sorry, but that is such a BS excuse and I take zero pity on parents who say that and hand their kids screens as pacifiers. Fight me.
I’m pretty sure your parents have just given up
I’m a gen alpha (13) but I sadly did grow up with electronics and I’ll be completely honest, not a good idea on my parents part at all (especially without parental supervision) I saw many things I shouldn’t have and have done many things I shouldn’t have either and it still haunts me every night. I’ve developed a depressive disorder because of all the negativity I was given on the internet when I was younger that I have to be medicated for. So future parents out there please PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR KIDS and please GIVE THEM A GOOD CHILDHOOD!!!
@@Dr.fayg0 the most common thing I hear from parents is that they’re too busy for their kids. And it breaks my heart, because if you’re too busy for your kids, you shouldn’t have had them to begin with. It goes against my religious beliefs, but I think there should be licensing for whether or not people can reproduce. If your go-to method of “parenting” is a screen, no baby for you. And I get it, parenting can be exhausting. I’m pregnant now and all I wanna do is sleep. But if you’re just giving your kid a screen, just so you can be on yours in peace, that’s not responsible, that’s not “too busy,” that’s negligent.

It's a systemic failure. People love to complain (Rightfully) that there isn't enough time in a day to live life with how unbalanced work/life has become, but then shame parents that are going through the exact same struggle. Too nuanced to get into in a YT comment, but I think it's just as lazy to blame the parents as it is to let your kid be on a screen 24/7. It's akin to the millennial kid obesity epidemic (Which was also related to work life balance), I don't blame Gen X parents for that, more so a system that made it possible/encouraged that behavior.
It's obviously the parent's fault.
I don't blame younger people, and I don't think they are "worse" or "doomed" but I will blame the parents. They should know. Especially if they are millennials, and know how it can mess up someone to be online all day long.

As someone who works in animation, the “how many seconds for each scene” part was so fascinating! 😮
I didn’t even realise this!! It’s so weird
@@shirashiraonthewall It's a reflection that got me thinking about the kind of productions I've been personally working on. I work as a cleanup artist for 2d animation, which means I take care of rough animation, clean every line up, and once the scene is all tidy, I'll send it over to color department. In the most recent production I was in, we were constantly given one or two seconds long scenes (along to longer ones of course), and to me it not only it felt like something ordinary, but it was even a bit of a relieve - shorter scenes means less drawings to cleanup, and I can send them back in faster and move on with my day.
But then when we got a mid-production montage and now that the scenes were actually flowing one after the other, the frequent changes, and the bright colors, and the more active parts created this weird effect of overstimulation, in a sense. And what I know is a 22 minutes long episode began to feel like an eternity.
And one day we had someone else in the studio talking about another show that she wasn't personally involved in, but she said that when she saw the montage it felt the exact same. Too fast-paced and too colorful for her to really enjoy.
You can also see it from older anime, just how much things jave changed in terms of pacing and scenes timing; maybe there were less frames, or less movement of the chatacters, but the whole thing could feel more readable and relaxing.

@@Mercygrim96 you’re going to hear a lot of opinionated parents telling you that you couldn’t possibly know how to teach if you don’t have kids your own. I’m a teacher, and I do want to expand my family, but to each their own. I’ve just heard quite a few parents tell me that I don’t have a dog in the race when it comes to discipline.
Same here. I don't even have a desire for any relationship that's beyond platonic friendship, lol (aroace spectrum, but also just sex repulsed and don't care for that kind of commitment)! I shall enjoy my freedom, thanks.
Easy muslims will have kids for you 👍
yeah I remember when gen z had the "violent videogames" era when parents were really concerned that we become mindless criminals because we played gta 5 at the age of 13 lol.
That was more Millennials. By the time the Oldest of Gen Z became Teenagers that had largely died down. If anything I seen some parts of Gen Z trying to revive that mess on there own because most of the second half of the generation has somehow decided that fiction reflects reality.
I’m an older gen Alpha (2012), and I genuinely HATE my generation. I swear to God, only about 4 (me included😍) people in my class are actually well behaved and are trying hard in life. My parents’ main tactic of parenting is giving us an Ipad and telling us to go to our rooms.🙄 My 8 year old brother has already fallen into brainrot (He’s obsessed with Poppy Playtime rn, send help), but i’m tryna save myself with doing art and stuff.
Gen alpha and gen z overlap through 2010-2012 so your a gen zalpha
I can’t mentally do it anymore
Then fucking change it instead of complaining about how you hate your generation
My Millennial mother keeps giving my young brother the ipad to shut him up and i keep trying to stop it cause i dont want a crazy-shit brother 😭
My husband and I have drawn a very firm line in the sand and have said no tablets for our kids. We go to family dinners with his family and all his nephews are on one to three screens at freaking dinner. It makes ME feel overstimulated. We’re also drawing the line with my family and saying no to my Amazon/Temu/Wish junkie mother, because you can’t even walk around her house, it’s floor-to-ceiling with online garbage. Whatever demons we can avoid, we will make a strong effort to avoid them.
Keep it up! Your brother will remember you more than your mother
I was born in 2001, and let me tell you how SHOCKED I was when I watched old home videos of my family and I and how involved everyone is. Sure, you could always read a book or listen to music if you wanted, but no one was glued to them. The attention span is normal and everyone seems to be enjoying each other’s company like way more. I’m glad I didn’t grow up with an Ipad in my face and these kids deserve better. We really need to limit these for everyone, not just kids. Can’t imagine how harmful it must be to their development
Everytime I say that kids under 16 shouldn't be on social media, people get pissed. But there are legit studies on this
@@peytoncollins3962 anytime I say parents should not give their kids screens as downtime, people get pissed. Whenever I say teachers know who the iPad babies are, people get pissed. Then they yell at me because I don’t have any of my own kids yet. So I don’t have a dog in the race. Listen, Becky, I’ve had about 350 dogs in this race-even if they’re not my own, they’ve taught me a lot for when I do have my own.
Kids should not be alowed any social media, especially social media where they can post photos of their faces.
Kids aren't mature enough to understand that there are really, really fucking awful people on the internet. Hell not even I can fully understand this shit.
Parents need to control what their kids are watching if they are to let them use electronics.
When I was 11 I downloaded discord and twitter because I got curious and while nothing utterly disgusting happened directly to me, I found a friend around the same age as me on disc who was 12 at the time who vented to me about being groomed. Neither I nor them knew what it actually was and looking back at it I'm disgusted. I fucked around and found out.
I abandoned or maybe even terminated both of my accounts and never came back to them. This was before I found out what the situation meant, but I don't regret this decission at all.
After finding abt it I never downloaded most of the social media apps with the exception of youtube and wattpad.
they should have limited access to social media (meaning they can't post on any social media, and certain ones *COUGH COUGH TWITTER* should be inaccessable) by the start middle school(10-11yrs). they should have a screen time limit and parental controls until they are in 7th-8th grade at the EARLIEST. obviously your choice, but that's how I was raised and right now I'm doing fine (im going into 8th grade lol.) that is, if you think they are mature enough. if they are acting childish then they shouldn't have social media.
and you should give them a phone for them to carry because around middleschool is when they get devious ideas (running away and junk) and turn on tracking. because even if you raised an innocent child, it only takes one bad parent in the whole school and your child could be exposed to stuff you don't want them seeing. Just saying.
@@callmeangie867 I hate people who act like you need your own to know how to properly parent. no, no you don't. and non-parents tend to make better parents.
I’m Zoomer-Alpha, but i’m not a “sephora kid” or a “skibidi toilet, sigma” or whatever. I play outside, i spend my time with friends, not with the phone.
Same bro my sister 2019 Got a tablet at fucking 4
I worked in education for 7 years, getting out of it in 2016. Over that time, I could see the beginning of the decline. It became very easy to identify those kids who had been raised on devices.
1. Extremely limited attention span - usually 2-3 mins at best. Easily bored and distracted.
2. Poor memory - unable to retain something that was covered moments before.
3. Zero imagination - unable to think up an original idea.
4. Stunted communication / interaction skills - no understanding of group work, turn-based activities, etc.
5. Academically backward - several years behind in numeracy and literacy.
Eight years later and I can't imagine how bad things must be now.
I am 13 and they are really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really REALLY BAD!

You know what's sad? I was supervising a grade 1 class (since as an older grade you do that for like a school job since our school is fucking broke) and there was no imagination. No imagination. Sure they were drawing pictures. But it was pictures of skibidi toilets and grimace shakes 💀. WHERE IS THE IMAGINARY FRIENDS???? COME ON
And Poppy’s Playtime. It is depressing and all teaching has done for me is taught me what I will not allow in my own house. Tablets are number one.
I remember drawing a fantasy cat selector for my friend or something AND made her pick her cat and then drawing it to her😭(she probably has it somewhere still)
How is this any different from us drawing cartoon characters?? 😭😭
I didn't really have imaginary friends, and my drawing skills were terrible then, but I once drew a whole playroom when I was told we'd be moving. Drawings were very clunky, but I had imagination. What is wrong with other parents and kids?
Man I’m a gen alpha kid and I don’t want to be “that girl” but ngl I was helping my friend do her math and she didn’t know what 2 x 10 was SHE IN THE 7TH GRADE 💀💀💀💀🙏🙏🙏

That's good but be careful about overdoing it
I'm 27 and graduated highschool with many people who couldn't read, and not just at grade level they could barely read at all. And graduated highschool and are now my age with almost no understanding.
I had to teach myself how to read, write, tell time, roman numerals, math. I've self tought how to build computers, but sadly MANY people cannot teach themself which is fine and normal. It's just sad how we are so obsessed with things like, plastic surgery, looking "sexy", social media in general is a cesspool that promotes zero life skills or anything important.
It's fun of course we all love entertainment, but when the entartainment becomes the education you'll end up with the intellect of a stunted toddler.
Some of the people in my second grade class are brainwashed and can't even solve estimated 2000+3200. (I am no longer in second grade)
Same here dude, I was born in 1996 and graduated high school in December of 2014. Some students in my high school couldn't do basic maths, logic reasoning or writing. Parents started using screens, whether iPads, Nintendo 3Ds, Video Games, or laptops, as a way to babysit their kids so they can be lazy and negligent in 2006 to 2011, before that it was tv, but at least the parents generally held control and access to the tv remote. It has also just gotten much more worse and much more widespread now, which is sad. I myself also find myself being too addicted to screens some days, and the internet culture is not as positive and fun as it was when I was a child or even a teenager using it, it is mostly negative and/or neutral nowadays. I feel like the more negative side/aspects and less positive/fun sides of the internet began taking over around 2016 to 2017. Brainrot internet culture also existed when I was a kid and a teenager however, and it led to some kids ignoring their school education in replacement of internet entertainment. I really wish there was a mandatory "parenting children" year long class that adults have to take once they become parents or will become parents in the future.
as a 2010 kid, my little sister is a 2015 kid and watches the STRANGEST things on youtube. like…she watches amazing digital circus videos…the weird kind. you know what i watch? total drama season uploads, cosplay complations, and web series like disventure camp (highly recommend checking it out) like…its so weird seeing my sister watch things like that

@@AliceSolley-u7x KICK HER OUT
R u saying it’s content farms?
What’s also different about iPad kids content is the lack of commercials. There’s ads but there isn’t a 2-5 minute commercial break between scenes and shows. Those commercial breaks allowed for boredom and going and doing things like going outside during a show you don’t like or going and getting a toy or snack, having that lapse in attention and boredom is really important for kids
Shows like coco melon don’t have that break, it’s just content, content and more content with bright colours and no space for the brain to breathe or process it
I'm a high school teacher in an affluent district and yes, can confirm most of the students here read/write at a fourth grade level. It's to the point where most students-even the "honors" students-have no idea when they're supposed to capitalize a letter in a sentence, let alone use punctuation like commas. Most of them use extensions like Grammarly on their laptops/Chromebooks, and will type in all lowercase and will mindlessly use Grammarly to automatically correct their grammar. Take away the tool, and they have no idea what to do. The thing is, that BECAUSE they have these tools, it does not matter how many refresh grammar lessons we try to give, or how many times I tell them to "always capitalize the first letter of the sentence, and any forms of I including contractions," it goes in one ear and out the other. There's no need to listen to me or any other adult when they can just keep using Grammarly and co. Ask any high school teacher right now, and they'll say that they're all dying to just take a few weeks and rebuild foundational reading/grammar skills from the ground up, but there's just no time.
So onto the curriculum. If they're all reading at a 4th grade level, what do we do about their English and Literature classes? Well, while we ease them into the year with a lower reading level graphic novel (which, surprise surprise, they all find very boring and aren't quiet about voicing these opinions), after that, they're expected to read all the same books previous generations read in school. But because books aren't as stimulating as what things like Tiktok have accustomed their brains to expect, they just won't read the books. But it doesn't matter if they do read it or not, because all the kids can't fail in a class-admin would never allow it. So if grades are down, another assignment is created as an easy A grade booster. Yes, grade inflation is out of control, and no, the teacher's can't do anything about it. The decisions come from way above us. So, whether or not they read any of the assigned books on their own, not only will students pass the class, but they will pass it with stereotypically good grades. The only way we as teachers can ensure they've read the book is if we literally read it TO them in class, so that's what we do. But even then, their reading comprehension skills are just not there to understand the text. In Special Ed classrooms like Resource Rooms, we can get away with reading 4th grade level books (which, by the way, has REALLY helped the kids rekindle their love of books and reading), but in General Ed? No, the parents/district leaders/admin/the state would throw a fit. We'd be a national new's story. And so, struggling through the high school curriculum it is.
This turned into quite a long explanation. I do really enjoy my job-to be clear-but just like all jobs, there are some rough aspects to it.
Suddenly I feel guilty for planning to use the not-old-english version of Shakespeare this year. Does that count as lazy, bad at grammar behavior?
My heart is breaking for that young child. IPads in young children is abuse and neglect
My 5 year old brother watches TH-cam Shorts 24/7 without parental controls.
He dosen't even read his Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books. I read them instead when i'm feeling anxious/streesed/furious to cheer me up.
As a 13 yo I can confirm that even I think these younger kids are DOOMED like yes I had an ipad when I was younger but I didn’t throw tantrums when it was taken and I still played with toys and outside. And as a teen I do shop at Sephora but I use safe products and am respectful. But these little ones are CRAZY AND DOOMED FOR LIFE!
They're kids. They will grow out of this, they will look back and cringe, they will regret. But they are not doomed.
it's the parents man, it's the parents.
I know but these kids are still going to eventually have the consequences stay around for much longer than just childhood. Many kids even in my grade still lose it over the fact they can’t have phones in class
The parents are setting their littles up for failure for longer then just childhood
once somebody in my class had a temper tantrum at hometime with literally no reasoning, he was throwing chairs around, knocking desks over, etc, and it got so bad that the last handful of students in the classroom had to be evacuated to the classroom next door and i was having a meltdown over it (I suffer with autism and anxiety and my taxi usually isn't called for until everybody else has gone)

I agree a lot of millennials don’t have a village but not for the reason that you said. 24:01 I think they don’t have a village cuz the village is tired. Families are tired of having to deal with their kids awful behavior or deal with kids unable to interact with the adults in their lives. There’s a lot of entitlement around parents “needing a break” but not raising their kids to exist in an environment outside of their care. These kids aren’t taught how to exist in an unfamiliar or possibly uncomfortable environment, I saw when I taught preschool. You could see children who had unlimited screen time and those who got it as a treat or when they met behavior expectations. I just think the village is tired.
That’s a really really good point. You’re totally right
the gen alpha kids in my highschool were unhinged the moment they arrived💀 a small group of them followed my friend home. half of them is currently addicted to brawl stars and play it whenever they can the other half is being super obnoxious in the cafeteria. Now, I do have to say that some of them are completely fine and normal. ultimately I blame the parents, but even then they can't always do something about it. for example my little brother went playing at a friends house and he and his friend ended up watching a movie that wasn't exactly meanr for their age, he came out absolutely traumatized and scared of the dark all over again. All of that because his friend had unrestricted acces to netflix.

My first and second group were super quiet (12 year olds), I even told them they could ask questions, and they just stayed quiet. And I know these are social kids because they were talking amongst themselves before I gathered them around. My first group of 7th graders, though (so age 11), were so crazy that they could not stop trying to talk over me. I had to raise my voice up a little bit and center them. Oh, and the words they say- like it's not English??
It’s okay. What matters is the person, it doesn’t matter the Generation you fall under. :)
Oh shut up kid, Being Gen Alpha isn't the worst thing ever, you don't automatically become a "Skibidi Kid" just cause you're Gen Alpha.
Relax, you'll be fine!
As a Gen Z born in late 2002, I'm glad I only got an iPad at 9 years old and could only play video games or use TH-cam for half an hour. And I'm glad I grew up on movies and shows that aired on Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon instead of those Elsagate, Skibidi Toilet, and (saving the worst for last) CoComelon garbage that should all go bite Bender's shiny metal ass.
I went to a 2 year olds house my mom wanted to show her the potty training video she used for me which was elmo SHE WAS SCARED OF ELMO and just wanted to watch coco melon 😭
@@TheOneAndOnlyAimee so have you tried letting her watch something you might have grown up with? Maybe let her watch Bluey instead.
@@hungtheheroluuNah try SpongeBob or Clifford the big red dog 2000 version or Arthur.
@@John-s1s7e Yeah. SpongeBob, Clifford, and Arthur are good shows as well. It's ok if you don't like Bluey, but I've watched a few episodes and it's a genuinely great show as well.
15:19 cutting costs on education is akin to cutting costs on your future. I hope this 8th grader gets the support they desperately need
I am a very late gen z (2008) and literally half my school is failing and every freshman group that comes in somehow gets worse. The only classes in my school that actually somewhat try are the ap or honors classes. If your in the normal ones then good luck on trying to learn
please let's not put 2010 in gen alpha. Here is the text from Wikipedia: “Pew Research Center describes Generation Z as spanning from 1997 to 2012. Both the United States Library of Congress and Statistics Canada have cited Pew's definition of 1997-2012 for Generation Z. In a 2022 report, the U.S. Census designates Generation Z as those born 1997 to 2013.”
now look at gen alpha age ranges...alpha and z overlap. i dont make the rules
@@shirashiraonthewall You are both right, each source says differently, that the 2010 vintage can be described differently, e.g. gen zalpha XD
And one more thing, different countries accept it differently, so let's not argue about it.
@@shirashiraonthewallYou're right, but it would be nice to say that "2010 is the oldest of Gen Alpha, but every source says differently".
Most sources agree that it’s 2010, again, I don’t make the rules
@@shirashiraonthewall you don’t want to see my country Netherlands 1997-2015
I’m 2010 I don’t care about that dumb sj*t I will say I have gen z childhood like Wii anoyning orange and angry birds I played outside and now I see these new children it’s even happening in my country like I passed 6 grade i’m going to high school but my classmates are aynoing there are like screaming and saying swear word and when we’re where in camp there are watching p*rn that’s what my best friend said
But make your own choose
1997-2012 gen z
1995-2010 gen z
1997-2009 gen z it’s oke
Imagination is out the door for future generations.
That's crazy cause it isn't
@@Bruh-Sound-Effect.actually there’s been studies on the phenomenon of Aphantasia, which it’s believed at least 40% of people have. No inner eye/minds eye, and no inner dialogue. That’s a huge chunk of people with no imagination.
You should research it, fascinating and alarming stuff!
@peanutboxes4076 Has that not always existed though?
fun fact: the parents choose their childrens’ future. That first clip with that child screaming was totally the mothers fault. if I was her (as a gen alpha…) I would’ve snatched the iPad, scolded the child, and popped then in the mouth? It’s that moms fault that the child yelled at her like that. 🤷♀️
Oh no, you can't say things like that on todays internet :(
"tv is boring"where do they think their netflix shows used to air?????
I am either one of the youngest gen z's or one of the oldest gen alphas, with gen x parents(yes, I can read/spell properly), and I used to watch iPad when I was younger as a phase. If I took it out during family conversations or when guests came, my parents would yell at me about it. If I dared to yell back, I would've gotten smacked across the face, so I would have to put it away when I was told to. 2:09 if I did that in a restaurant with any device, my parents are going to tell me to put it away the millisecond I take it out unless if it something important. I only watch TH-cam on my phone when I am eating alone otherwise Ima get a whole lecture of how I don't appreciate my family. Plus, I always loved going outside to touch grass and I still go outside every day. I also have the fear of getting punished when I misbehave at school and at home. I get so excited to see a video because I hate reading large articles. TV is NOT boring it is the best thing to watch vids/shows on. YT kids before 2020 was literally so family friendly now it's the exact opposite. These parents are literally spoiling their kids, and they have to stop doing it! btw u earned a sub and your kitty cat, Edgar, is adorable!!!
As a late gen x or 'xennial" parent with a 5 year old, I understand being tired and needing a break and tablets can help, however there needs toma balance with screen time and regular play with toys and time outside with their friends. I do think kids need to be able to be bored and learn to use their imaginations.
I am 14. I got a phone last year (7th grade) and had a flip phone (with the numbers and dial button) until then. I got made fun of so bad for my phone because my 11 year old peers had the newest iPhone with no restrictions. I have an iPhone 6s with so many restrictions that I can’t make a google search about a kids movie 😂. I am thankful to my parents though because I was not given the option to have social media from a young age (I may scroll TH-cam on my mom’s computer for like 10 minutes a day but that’s pretty much it) because now I am happier and more confident in my body image. Parents, this is your sign to not let your kids get or use electronics until they have proved they are responsible enough to balance their iPad with their life.
I get people struggle with learning, especially at my age since I’m young but I may not know how to spell good, but I know how to spell cat duck and other things. .
I hope parents that put their kids in front of the TV start putting on captions, that actually helped me with spelling a lot when I was a kid.
Aussie kids smash down chapter books by yr 4
My cousin is 4 or 5 and we went to *his* BROTHER'S hockey game, but he couldn't look away from the iPad. It's insane 😭
When i was raised in easter Europe by my parents we had very strict rules for using electronics. I got a tablet when i was 8 and could only use it on weekends for 4h a day and got my first phone only after passing a grade with high enough annual grade point average. That applied to both my older sister and younger brother since we were simmiliar ages, but now when i have even younger sister and literal toddler brother the rules lossened up for them i guess beacuse they don't really have anyone to play with beacuse of the age gap that's between us. Scoldings and punishments were also used for which im thankfull for beacuse it helped me to learn discipline and like made me think before i do something.
I remember when the first my little pony equestrian girl movie came out i still love mlp,Barbie,and spiderman and im 16,and also i still like toys.😭
5:41 not the 8 yewr old nephew dissin cable tv 💀💀💀
As a Zalpha, idlike to give an apology to every Brainrotted skibidi obsessed self-proclaimed "Sigma" and every spoilt, Tik-tok loving Sephora kid. I hope yall can find it in your heart to forgive us
You are too deep in that you can not be saved
@@ItsMovie_Sonic1Agreed
I'm 13 and ik a girl who doesn't watch movies bc they're 'too long and boring'. I'm honestly am embarrassed to say I'm a Gen Alpha.
@@cheepscakefactory7995 the fast-paced attention span-killing videos really have destroyed y’all’s brains. If it’s not 10 seconds or less, there’s no interest. I feel like I have to run a three-ring circus instead of a classroom just to prevent kids from screaming at me that they are bored. Like, pal, that’s kind of really not my problem. I’m an educator, not an entertainer.
@@callmeangie867 I'm so sorry. You deserve so much better. I know from my own perspective it's frustrating to try and learn when surrounded by interruptions, but I can't begin to imagine how it feels to be a teacher (especially with the pay and inflation nowadays).
@@callmeangie867 You know not all of us are like that right
When I was in 4th grade I was reading at a 2nd grade level, and my teacher worked HARD to get me to like reading. But she could only do that because I was one of the very few in the class that wasn’t reading at level, and I had fantastic parental involvement. These poor fucking kids. Absolutely heart breaking. How are we continuing to let this happen?
Idiocracy is getting closer to a documentary every day
my little sister (2014) is a different breed of gen alpha, she has like 4-7 hours of screentime and still is respectful to every person she sees and has all of those social media apps too + STILL extremely kind and intelligent.
Kinda unrelated but, BFDI FAN!1!1!1
As a Gen alpha, I was born in the first year of Gen Alpha, and i absolutely don't have a ipad, i watch planes in the sky outside irl and relax in the garden
love that
My school was completely new, and after half a year open it had to pay 1 million to fix stuff
WHAT
@@therealzemokuOSC Ik, I stopped going to that school, and went to private school, and there they broke a door
dammit that gives me flashbacks when my school was very poor.......
i am sorry for your current school and your old school.
Gen alpha is only doomed because they say it is, not only that it's only doomed because nobodys doing anything about it
Guys not all gen alpha are like this ,i have never even been to sephora
tf none are like this i never seen a little kids in sephora its mostly teenagers and young adults in their
My brother and I had several stuffed animals, and I remember one of our favorite pastimes was making parades with them, haha. We’d line them up and march them in columns all around the house, hahaha. Looking back, it seems kind of silly, but I also remember how much fun we had coming up with their dialogues and making them move in formation. We could spend hours doing that. The bike, roller skates, skateboards, scooters, our dog and adventure buddy, pogs, balls... childhood memories are my greatest treasure. Videogames and cartoons were fine, but who can refuse an real life adventure over them!
I'm a child free millennial and some of my friends my age had the TV as a baby sitter because their parents didn't care. So yeah I can see why millennial parents use the ipad as a baby sitter.
okay, I’m gonna admit it, I only missed gen alpha status by a tiny amount, but I gotta thank my parents for not giving me a phone until I was like 11 years old. i actually played in the dirt when I was younger, and just a few years later they aren’t doing that anymore. Fucking wild what this tech does to a human mind, seriously…
(edit: just realized I’m sounding like this “I’m better then them because xzy”-crowd & wanna say that I ain’t mean it because I’m also addicted to my phone :D)
Real problem: accessing 18+ content.
Real problem: Parents aren't blocking their children from using 18+. Keep the kids off the net.
@@MaoRattoAgreed or there will be an EMP on the Internet. Electric will stay. These EMP will only effect the Internet and devices. Fridge essentials power would not be affected.

Thank You!

My brother-in-law was a teacher. He quit because of how mean all the kids were. He worked in an elementary school.
