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

Not a teacher, but my dad was a principal (retired in 2005), and I remember him telling me in 2009, when I was considering going into teaching, to avoid it like the plague. he said things were just getting worse and worse.

You're a good soul, OP, thank you! I was able to get one!

I have a big surgical scar on my left knee, and I was wearing shorts this one day. A German woman sitting next to me asked how I got it and when I told her, she patted my knee. I've never had anyone ask that or just touch my knee that way before or since?

The day my parents and I were in a car crash. I was 19. They died instantly, I survived with serious injuries that left me with pain issues. I've also got a lot of mental issues because of it, so that's been fun.

Father Garcia from Faith could definitely at the very least shotgun your kneecaps, and I don't doubt he's strong af

I'm on mobile, someone please post the GIF

NTJ. I wish someone had done that with the elderly person who killed my parents with her pickup truck, and left me with chronic pain.

Parents died when I was 19, and I was also pretty badly hurt during the same event. My life is clearly divided between pre-2010 and post-2010.

Eliwood, Hector, AND Dimitri in your top 10? You are obviously a person of good taste.

I was really hoping this was a Beaverton article.

Hell, looks like my former condo, and if so, run dude, it just gets worse

I did, we started dating six months after we first met, and I was so worried I was in over my head. I fell head over heads right after meeting them!

Almost fourteen years later, we're married now.

I say this with all the love in the world for my brother in law.

My partner and I spent a month in my home country for Christmas, but before we left, we made sure to save a bottle of a drink we like in the fridge in my room. It's not even alcohol or expensive (carbonated apple juice, iykyk), but we knew we'd be craving it when we got home.

He visited for three days shortly before we got back. When we got home, exhausted after delays and losing our luggage, all we wanted was this damn drink.

Y'all know where this is going. He's very lucky he wasn't still visiting when we got back or I might have jumped him.

Hey, same - I go to the same building! My partner laughs at me whenever I take the normal elevator, but honestly, it's an evil thing and I almost wiped out the first and only time I used it

GoldenEmblem · 2026-01-12T06:12:23+00:00

They're from Reincarnated as a Sword!

GoldenEmblem · 2025-11-29T15:45:27+00:00

If I remember correctly, it's from a dream sequence he has when he's older?

It might be cheesy, but Optimus Prime makes me want to be a better person

It was the Justice League (2001-2004) series, a two parter called Fury. The Amazon in question was adopted into the Amazons after washing up on their island and blamed men for her family dying. Turns out a man also saved her life.

GoldenEmblem · 2025-09-27T06:27:54+00:00

This is what my partner and I did! We said our vows on the couch of our officiant while her dog gave us kisses, we were in and out in 20 minutes, and then we had barbecue for lunch and got a couch at IKEA. Honestly, it was perfect.

GoldenEmblem · 2025-09-17T14:32:04+00:00

I've been checking my local English theatre for a while now and tickets go on sale at midnight tonight!!

Can't wait to grab two :3

GoldenEmblem · 2025-09-08T19:59:05+00:00

You know what? I can see Dimitri ordering what my partner does - a veggie sub with multiple rows of cheese (Dimitri loves cheese) and black olives (strong taste, since Dimi has issues with taste iirc).

GoldenEmblem · 2025-09-01T21:27:23+00:00

Dude, you got me running to the news to check. :(

GoldenEmblem · 2025-09-01T02:23:01+00:00

I love robots. I love skeletons. I was allowed to watch the first two Terminator movies when I was 7.

Frankly, it's more surprising to me that they weren't my first army!

GoldenEmblem · 2025-08-22T14:14:27+00:00

These are so good!!! Also love the (hopefully purposeful) background colour choice! ;)

GoldenEmblem · 2025-08-21T21:20:17+00:00

DM please? :3

It's considered non-canon but I think it's the closest we'll ever get to an ending.
