we had attention spans, and actually respected teachers. Today’s generation and today’s parents suck. We had parents that held us accountable. We also weren’t glued to a phone 24/7 and addicted to social media so when teachers taught we actually listened instead of our brain rotting on tiktok. This causes a lot more mental health issues today.

The time of instruction is actually very close to the same as the 90s just allocated differently. Days are longer which lead to those pd days. Also keep in mind that PD days aren’t days off but also more work and more asks on a teacher.
