Itâs always âkids these daysâ but never âwhat systems have we designed for kids to grow up like this?â
Always âKids are glued to their cell phones!â
Never âSocial media app companies have a profit incentive to make sure its target audience are constantly using the app so that its advertisements reach maximum screen time.â

I taught gen alpha for two years as a swim instructor, and there were kids who wouldnât listen, kids who picked everything up quickly, kids with fears of water, etc. It would be impossible for me to sum up the newest generation because theyâre a diverse group of people just like my generation is. Most of them were lovely and I miss teaching them every day. Even the ones that wouldnât listen would crack me up a lot of the time, and the vocabularies of the two year olds were extremely advanced and they followed instruction well. Some kids just need extra help, I am also a slower learner and itâs so frustrating. I canât imagine being outright shamed for this, something I canât control. The institutionalization and standardization of learning seems so odd to me.

âThe children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.â.......Socrates, ~400 BC

Re: Kids causing a racket at a restaurant. What a crock - the same thing was being said about me and my friends when we hung out at at a local restaurant BACK IN THE EIGHTIES. And while they were correct - we did take up a lot of space, make a lot of noise, and in general were a self-involved and disrespectful bunch of teenagers - the same thing was being said of our detractors back in their day. And so on until at least the later Victorian era when school was made compulsory. FFS...

I was worried about my 20 y.o. Sonâs reading skill because he just doesnât seem to be into it but then we were playing through a video game and he was just skipping through the text and I was all, âDonât you need to read that?â To which he responded, âYeah, I did read it.ââŚturns out that heâs a snob about his anime and only watches âsubbed, not dubbedâ and watches it at 4x speed, or something like thatâŚhe reads as fast as I do, and I read fast!

As someone who grew up in the US education system with undiagnosed disabilities...yeah, shame is everywhere. The first response was ALWAYS to blame instead of "Maybe the child is struggling", even when I was literally 5 years old. I even remember having a Kindergarten teacher who would "train" students not to use the bathroom by refusing to let them go, waiting till they peed themselves, and then giving them fresh pants from some giant safe. (Without fresh underwear mind you). This is already a nightmare and abusive imo, but is even worse for kids with sensory issues who 1. May not be able to use the pants she gave them or 2. Would not be able to read their body's signs to pee well in the first place.

What I am hearing about gen alpha right now is pretty much what I experienced in middle school, including abhorrent discipline, kids not being able to read into their tweens, and constantly being told that we are the worst class the teacher has had to teach. I guess it just happened a bit earlier in my country

Alice captures well what Confucius taught about education for self-transformation (that in turn transforms the world). He also said in the Analects 'ććçĄéĄ' which means 'having education without distinction of social classes'. His favourite student, Yan Hui, was a homeless man. Confucius accepted as small as a stick of dried meat as a tuition fee. His title 'The Exemplary Teacher of Myriad Ages' is so true even to these days.

In my experience, while there is plenty of evidence that there is some decline, to simply dismiss whole generations especially to suggest that it's some moral failing on their part is not good critical thinking. As a teacher of young people with learning disabilities in a private institution, I can say this customer mindset is a real thing. Parents feel like they're paying for a grade and we owe it to them whether the work is being done or their kid needs more adjustments or not. And that control piece where we force neurodivergent kids to behave in "normative" ways--walk in a straight line, have all your papers in color coded folders etc. etc. It's sad and it's hurting the kids. Great video as always, Alice! Have a great week! :-)

I studied in a french primary and middle school in turkey. After 8 years of insane discipline I was like I can't have this anymore. In high school went to a more relaxed but really good american high school (again in turkey). And the freedom I felt (because this one particular school in turkey is nice it doesnt mean all american schools are like that) was insane. I didnt need to cut my hair in a particular way, didnt need wear black shoes, no need to have white socks. And besides that most the teachers were more relaxed. When I did some stuff wrong I did not feel like I should be ashamed and it was the end of the world. I still have dreams, more like nightmares, in which I'm still in my french school or I have to go back to that school. ps also your teacher is crazy

As a Brazilian, raised in a house made up of educators. I was very happy to see Paulo Freire mentioned in the video, Alice.
His works were and are fundamental to Brazilian pedagogy today! Pedagogy of the Oppressed is an excellent book. I recommend everyone to read it
Hugs from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil :)

Instead of blaming kids for being addicted to technology that is literally designed to make even fully grown adults addicted, letâs talk about the parents giving their kids this technology with no boundaries- but also the society that forces both parents to work to exhaustion and have no time for their kids.
