I'm a teacher of 7 to 8 year olds. I'm surprised that all these people who are saying, "gen alpha can't read!" are forgetting that Gen Alpha was supossed to be learning to read when covid broke out and we sent all the kids home to learn online. Then we brought them back with masks on. A vital aspect of learning to read is learning the sounds letters and letter combinations make. That's harder to learn when masks cover up faces that would allow teachers to show what your mouth should look like when saying those sounds, and when they can't see the shapes of the mouths of the kifs doing it. Plus, the masks muffle sounds. As for computers, that's the fault of all those idiots who kept saying, "Gen Alpha are native to the internet and computers!" So they thought that they didn't need to teach them about the internet of computers and are now shocked by the results. That's not how the internet works. You don't just put things in front of them and hope for the best. You don't do that with reading, why would ypu with the internet? The Andrew Tate thing is true, though. Very sad. But it's related to the internet thing where we didn't teach them well.
@ZZ-qy5mv Unlimited access to TH-cam and TikTok. Someone did an experiment once that it only took a few minutes of clicking things young boys like before they start recommending Andrew Tate on TikTok. I have to reach out to parents and explain what their kids are seeing and show them how to set up TH-cam Kids on all devices. It's especially hard when the parents don't know English, so they don't know what their kids are listening to.
I’m baffled by the “gen alpha can’t read” rhetoric, because reading compression is something that’s monitored at the national level. Post-pandemic, the average reading ability of students fell to roughly 1990 levels. So by that logic, does that mean Gen X can’t read either? As with everything else, the issue is far more complicated than a bunch of holier than thou folks on social media are making it seem.
I always roll my eyes at people crying that Skibidi Toilet is "ruining children's minds," because those same people grew up watching stuff on Newgrounds that made Skibidi Toilet look like Blue's Clues, and somehow we still managed to grow up into normal, functioning adults.

Let me introduce you to my nephew. All he does is clap back. Tbh, he claps first most of the time. They may not be able to read or format or respect women, but they also cannot care less about our opinions 😂 and they are cheerfully vocal about it

Teal. Also my mom is teacher and has been for over 20 years. I've talked to her about the issue and she says that children have undoubtedly and noticably become less able to not only read/write/learn but also to appropriately regulate their emotions. I do think it's a very real problem but I also think that it is a fixable problem. Limiting screen time and teaching children to appreciate reading, writing, and getting outside could be the difference. Also teaching young boys to respect women would be pretty helpful...
You know, I wouldn’t normally comment like this, but I just have to say that you guys need more views and subs. Definitely some of the most engaging, entertaining and creative content that I have seen on this platform in a while. I’ve been just going through your back catalogue for the last couple days, and the quality is so consistently high. Keep it up guys!
My coworker's kid called her at work today (she's 10) howling with tears bc she wasn't allowed any more screen time, and just kept screaming down the phone "I'm so bored!!" I feel so bad for the kid
i have a brother who’s like right at the generational cusp, but leaning gen alpha, and he seems to be doing alright with most things. he’s a smart kid with an interest in football and geography. i’ve made sure to impart on him a crucial knowledge of vines and other important culture. there are occassional moments where i’m shocked by certain knowledge, life skills, or cultural things he’s just completely unfamiliar with, like the fact that he couldn’t name any hans christian andersen fairytales (we’re literally danish) or the fact that he didn’t know you could wash dishes without a dishwasher haha. but those are more like * side eyes my dad and stepmum * moments
i just finished working at a summer camp for kids 4-14 (although we didn't have any older than 12) the kids seem alright to me. i'm younger gen z, they seem to be fairly smart. some of them are too focused on the wrong things (one girl was telling me all about how much bubble skin care she got for her birthday), but overall they seem like really normal children. some annoying habits, sure, but that's normal too.
Remember when we Millennials ruined avocados? We couldn’t get enough of them and now they’re gone and forgotten and I haven’t seen one in years. In other words, my favourite offshoot colour is salmon.
I'm Gen Z and struggle so much with things like formatting and file size because I simply was never taught how to use the computer beyond emails and apps. I keep all my files on my desktop because I'm afraid I'll lose them if I try to organize them.
I don't want to hate on kids. For the most part a lot of the silly things they do is due to there age. I do, however, use the seeming disfunction of gen alpha as a way to hate on millennials, specifically millennial parents. I think it is mainly the fault of millennial parents that these kids are being raised by iPads and having a harder time reading and doing other things. We'll see how it plays out as gen alpha moves into adulthood though.
Gen z and millennials:makes brain rot-gives their children the access to said brain rot- gets mad at their children for watching their brain rot-refuses to elaborate-dies
My grandpa once said a generation raised by war raises strong people a generation raised in peaceful times raises soft people it'll only be a matter of time before the next generation becomes stronger yet again
bold of people to assume that screens and internet are bad only for children i have multiple examples on how internet is bad for everyone who doesn't know how to use it correctly
Sure buddy stop trying to make gen alpha look worse gen z is doing an amazing job at doing that bc sense a few gen a watch skibdi toliet means everyone does
fun fact, my friend works in a primary school as a ta and apparently some of the like year 1 kids still swipe books like theyre an ipad, also apparently the level of work they do is lower to when we (im 21) was that age like in year 1 some of the children cant count past 20
My kids are all Gen Z but my youngest is almost Gen alpha. He was using a computer from age 2. His Dad works with computers so he was drawn to them, he completed the first Portal at 3 because his spatial awareness has always been high. He was reading before he was 5 and used to read to the other kids in preschool. He still loves reading. However, he can be judgmental over very minimal things, though he is aware of it and catches himself and then feels bad he got so judgmental. He certainly enjoys apps like YT and Reddit. And Sunflower yellow
@@ThisIsAHandle-xz5yo well me personally I’m worried about them getting harmed by people on the Internet and worried about bad people accessing kids on the Internet because their parents aren’t paying attention 😭 the horror stories ive heard from people firsthand about their experiences on an old app kik… the stuff that was happening on the app is happening on a widespread scale on so many more apps
I'm just worried about Gen A. I was raised on social media, internet etc as a '99 kid and it messed me up something serious. I don't want them to go through the major depression and suicidal ideation I'm going through. I dont hate Gen A, I'm scared of how we're raising them and what kind of world we're leaving them. I'm only 24.
I'm a teacher in the uk and yes the young people use this completely ironically. It's also a very very small portion of the class who are usually the class clowns trying to get a reaction from others. Most of the pupils just roll their eyes at brain rot as it's main time of popularity has passed...and lilac is a pretty colour
I don’t think it’s that far-fetched that Gen Alpha might be falling short of that critical word gap we normally see from poor kids whose parents can’t read to them regularly (and put them in front of the TV instead). If you don’t hit a certain threshold of words learned by 1st grade, there’s loads of evidence that you’ll probably never catch up to your peers all the way through high school.
Are people genuinely surprised these children are acting childish? Also, I had a spicy rice with chicken thighs at Nando's recently and it was delicious.
My gen X stepdad has a millenial daughter and two gen alpha sons and he laments the gap sometimes, feels like he just doesn't understand the boys. The 13 year old will never get off the computer and watches things like Rick and Morty and Helluva Boss (😢) and the 9 year old is a sweet kid but still can't really read. I was also doing tutoring for a while at a place kids came to after school and my experience with gen z and gen alpha there didn't make me worry any less about "kids these days". I'm very fond of all of them and I hope their futures are bright with something other than wildfires but I suspect "we" have set them up for tragedy
People are overreacting about gen alpha when it’s not their fault that Covid occurred when they could’ve had better learning it just happens in the world while gen alpha does read books just like they find it less entertaining but tbh taking out the iPad or anything from any generation would tbh force the person to read so like yea!£
Blame it on the pandemic❌ Blame it on the parents ❌ Blame it on the system❌ Blame it on their past teachers❌ Blame it on the kids who have little to no control of their lives✅
As an older gen Alpha (im 14 some people say that's gen Z but i think that gen Alpha) thanks for not just sh!ting on us most of us are "normal" but yeah your mostly right
I knew how to read since i was 4 or 5 and i was born early 2013 so i really dont know whats the problem besides covid but yeah most people in my class cant read on level
I have a few friends who are teachers and the stories they tell me are awful. So from an education standpoint I’d argue they are cooked. A lot of them are just being pushed through the grades and are behind on their reading, writing, and math skills. And despite the efforts of teachers to get parents involved to help during the hours when kids aren’t at school, there’s little to no support.
