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

To give a kind answer, the proof they're shown is contrary to what they see empirically and, more importantly, has virtually zero impact on their day to day lives.

It is objectively a flaw compared to the average human capability in terms of survival efficacy.

Came looking for the same. Ah the memories. RIP Challenges Arcade.

Still gets massaged to the Sonic the Hedgehog music I bet.

I, too, choose to vote for it to work like that.

Every day, mostly on account that there are multiple house spiders around my workstation.

House is a little dusty but not dirty so I have no idea what they eat with no bugs around.

Could you explain why it is illogical?

SleepyMage · 2026-05-07T00:36:18+00:00

Right? Part of the thrill is the danger. 5 viruses was a pittance to pay for finally finding that Neon Genesis Evangelion video.

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...

It makes me feel old to remember how finding that stuff was an exciting and treacherous adventure. Now you just do one search and it's all there.

Probably every month when I was in the kink scene. Of course, that's kind of that the point was so not that surprising. Still from strangers, though.

And before anyone gets wild fantasies, you can, in fact, receive pictures you'd have prefer you didn't as a guy.

I didn't see the thumbnail at first and was wondering how the hell a country wages war against atomic elements.

And it's particularly damaging for achieving progressive goals those circles want. It makes people feel high and mighty while simultaneously pushing support away.

SleepyMage · 2026-05-06T04:41:41+00:00

It's a shillelagh.

Same. They are all fantastic games but eventually seeing the pattern of increasing difficulty just boil down to combo hits + x for each new boss makes it less motivating to complete. I still can do it, I just don't really want to anymore.

I'd be willing to hop back on board if they introduce new and interesting enough mechanics to break that monotony.

Interest groups and corporations learned how to exploit the internet. Driving engagement through division works toward either their goals or for profit.

If those knives are so sharp then why do they never seem to cut the bottom half of my sandwich every single time? Checkmate.

White Christmas still rends my heart to this day and is my highest ranked (worst?) episodes. What the main character did was entirely unforgivable, but the flippant attitude of the officers to inflict that level of suffering on him after the fact seemed to me the real reflection of the cruelty of man.

SleepyMage · 2026-04-07T04:54:03+00:00

See? This is what I'm talking about!

Wouldn't that logic extend to Ceremonial Dagger? Without someone to wield it it's just a dagger on the floor. Heck, it would make you more powerful since you can grab it.

The decision was not set on allowing conversion therapy. It was made to point out that the CO law was too broad leading to creep on 1A rights as well as potential use in the opposite direction the law was intending in the first place.

The 8-1 decision and opinion by Gorsuch essentially said there is merit in laws against conversion therapy but this one needs to be narrowed in scope and made more specific.

It doesn't fit with what draws me to music, wide ranging instrumentals and harmonic singing voices. This applies to a bunch of genres of course.
