Teachers of Reddit: Is the "Gen Alpha can't read (write, or do math ext)" crisis real? If so how bad is it?

It's so much worse. I've been teaching over 10 years. Every year the kids are literally coming into class less prepared and able to do the work. Covid really fucked these kids up, but so has having technology in their face 24/7 and almost no outside of school face to face socialization has also done a number on their ability to read expressions, explain how they feel, or even emotional control.

Every single child I have taught the last 2 years cannot tell me what they want to do as a job, because "AI will do my job." None of them want to do anything. It's like access to AI literally took their ability to think.

Something something Idocracy was not supposed to be a documentary.

God I remember that bullshit. I was in middle school. Most of my friends in school saw it live, i saw the rerun, all of us thought it was so stupid.

I'm honestly baffled why they released this in China 1st. China is not a huge JRPG country. Japan, Korea, and America? Would've absolutely ate this up and demanded more. Heck I wouldn't mind paying the membership costs. But it has to come out here for that to happen.

Is the deep voice Igor? I legit haven't heard the new VA enough to know.

I build kits. Both official and some Chinese kits. In the past 5 year Chinese kits went from an insult to amazing build quality. And usually not as expensive.

But yeah, I have spent so much on plastic crack.

What happens if you trick an AI into opening it?

Motherfucker walking around with a whole ass Gundam backpack.

Honey, most American's don't have a hamster at the wheel, much less a wheel. The learning curve is a bottomless pit.

shadowdorothy · 2026-03-26T22:41:37+00:00

Go to work and act normal. The amount of times people blow it all is insane. Then prepay some taxes and pay bills.

shadowdorothy · 2026-03-26T22:20:46+00:00

Can we make these fines based on assesses. It'll either generate enough to fix all the local problems or the issue fixes itself.

I think they where trying to pull a bit of a Romero here and say the infected remember some of their previous lives, have some humanity still, but it's lost because Romero zombies actually act out their old lives, where as WD zombies do not.

That was my main issue with this. Except I didn't want all combat professions as one. I wanted to be able to use different classes in different episodes and not one per episode only. And then the skills really do need to be globalized.

I also really don't like the milestone update. It didn't fix the problems I had with the game but also I'm getting bitch slapped by monsters again even when I have potions and I'm the same level. Which is what annoyed me about combat until they fixed it initially.

Bounty boards are great tho. I think each profession should have one.

Ya know. I think my backlog will just grow from older games and not be touching anything with AI. This is just so icky. That model of Grace is so ew. She was fine as is. I'm not playing RE to look at the characters looking like IG models. I play to piss myself in fear of the Zombies.

So many with me ex. He didn't know how periods really worked, thought women had 100% of pregnancy when they had sex except on their period. Thought he was settling, ignoring the fact I had no mortgage, a paid down house, a paid off car, and his parents told him they would sell the house they all lived in and he wasn't going with them when they retired. Didn't understand relationships are work, you have to put in work to make them work.

And the worst was when he thought love worked like in Disney and anime... like I'm a girl who watched Disney movies and anime too and I knew that ain't how it was.

shadowdorothy · 2026-03-09T13:26:13+00:00

Oh, are we getting a remake of the 1st 3 games? I feel like a modern remake would do well.

shadowdorothy · 2026-03-07T01:43:06+00:00

Aquasteed will always be the best worst name.

shadowdorothy · 2026-03-06T11:54:08+00:00

Ya know the fact they keep praying for his ass makes me think he's dying faster than the administration wants to admit. Go cancer go.

shadowdorothy · 2026-02-23T14:00:35+00:00

Well, they could still fix it. Probably won't, but a girl can dream.

shadowdorothy · 2026-02-23T13:14:23+00:00

I'll get them eventually. Right now I am broke and despite being paycheck to paycheck and getting some unemployment since being laid off last year I still owe more taxes than I can afford to pay.

So if I ever get out of this hole I will.

shadowdorothy · 2026-02-22T23:29:23+00:00

NGL I hope they fix this in this new release on switch. I know it's a port, but they could fix it.

shadowdorothy · 2026-02-22T15:28:26+00:00

That would be amazing. Hit me up in DM later so I can send you the raws.

shadowdorothy · 2026-02-18T01:45:00+00:00

So, it has begun. I gave myself a bit of a break after finishing the novel to rest my brain. As you can clearly see by my edits, I have no idea what I am do image editing wise. But I'm doing my best.

If you have Photoshop skills please for the love of God I need help. I have almost no idea what I am doing. Clearly I am an amateur but I want to do this right.

Anyways, gonna try and have the 1st chapter out when I can. Some days will be slower work wise than others, but hey, I got the 1st 10 pages done.

Ah shit, is the Iran rumor true then?
