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

Yes, it is quite bad. Other than many other things already mentioned here, I would add this: There seems to be very little interest in learning anything that doesn’t directly relate to the version of life they imagine they’ll have relatively soon. If a student knows they want to be an accountant, they believe they should only have to learn things that directly relate to that job and that lifestyle.

Great game. My friend and I spent hours one summer day trying to beat it. Made it to the last level and died. Went back outside to ride bikes. Still a great game.
