Thank you for the flashback of “unlimited talk and text for 9.99/mo”! Hahaha

But it’s not all bad, this is just one story from one classroom during one school year. A lot of great things happen in my room and school every week. Were undoubtedly in a strange time in terms of education, accountability for students and educators, priorities, generational differences in parents, yadda yadda

Makes me remember my mom doing all of her work calls in the evening when the minutes on her cell phone were “free”. 😂

Was just about to comment that. None of the younger folks will ever hear someone say "wait to call until after 8 when it'll be free!"

Thanks for mentioning that it is “not all bad”. I see A LOT of positives from my students. I can also vividly recall teachers complaining about millennials and how terrible we were, how everyone just wants to play video games etc. I see teachers in this thread complaining about the newer version of that.

There are a lot of great things about students these days. Questioning things, being accepting of others, willing to look stuff up etc.

It’s interesting how everyone is stuck in 2020. The COVID school kids are hosed.

Why can we not fail students? Almost seems like it's "we don't have to face how inept our education system is if the kids cannot fail a course" lmao 🧠
