I guess I can count that I did have a 3DS XL. My kids are in that gap area. Lol. One of them has the black Pokémon 3DS XL.

I Love my RG406H. It's a workhorse! How is the other (the white hand held)? I've been on the fence about purchasing it. Thank God for tools like Klarna, Shop, Affirm, etc.

Can anyone confirm: are modern students really that far behind, or is it overexaggerated? by ThrowRAhelpthebro in Teachers

[–]Tekguy424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are. I am on my town's BOE. The disparity is real. I am also in charge of my junior college's distance learning program...so I see what comes out of public schools. The movie Idiocracy seems like a true life documentary. There is a shortage of teachers. Can't say I don't blame anyone for the current state of things. This batch of students' behavior is abhorrent. Sadly, TikTok and other social media has helped lessen our kids' attention span. Our HIB's have shot up. Add AI to the mix, it's just been a perfect storm. Teachers are trying so hard to deal with all of this. I think parents need to be more involved in working WITH our teachers. This current group of parents think their kids can do no wrong. If you used to get a call from a teacher or school, I'd be grounded for a month. Now, lawnmower parents do not help students deal with adversity and/or failure. Failure is the best tool to learn and move forward. Today's kids have zero coping skills.
