Stupid and/or ignorant works best for the DEMs.

Surprise, surprise, surprise! Unexpected! Utterly unpredictable. A related aside. The article quotes teacher McHenney: “I am supposed to start sixth-grade teaching how to divide fractions. At the beginning of this year, in many cases, I had to go over addition and subtraction with these kids. That’s a third-grade skill.”

That's nothing. My sister teaches math mostly to middle school kids at a "magnet" school in downtown Baltimore. She occasionally teaches the high school seniors. If you ask one of them to divide one-half by two, they are utterly and completely befuddled. These are kids who are going to be graduating with high school degrees and most are headed to college!

If she gives them this, their heads explode...

I think listening to what passes for music these days is also an influence.

just one tiny element of why the "COVID 19" planned "pandemic" reaction was the biggest mistake in human history, now people are conditioned to accept idiotic pandemic responses and this was not even a real pandemic, it was merely a political experiment, an extortion racket by Big Pharma

Everyone fell for it and continue to faithfully believe to this day

real cold virus

fake Pandemic

“Often, children sit next to each other watching videos on their tablets rather than interacting with each other, she said.”

Take the tablets away. Duh.

Apparently it’s true

(Though this goes way beyond pandemic lockdowns, and is more fro family breakdown)

I think we lost a generation. Or maybe two.

COVID-19 restrictions have damaged children developmentally in ways that might be irreparable, teachers say.

I seem to recall teachers and teacher unions wanting shutdowns, masking, plexiglass barriers, social distancing and constant testing. Let’s make it very clear. Teacher have no credibility. We know the type of people they are. We went to high school and college with them. They are not highly intelligent. They are not well educated. Most are leftists and many are illiterate.

Teachers and government schools have failed. They are getting worse. American schools were ranked in the top of all nations in the early 70’s and before. Our schools are struggling to be in the top 25 today. That’s failure. That is teachers failing. That’s teacher unions failing. That’s government failing.

Teachers: STFU. You are the problem. You are not the solution. I bet teachers feel zero remorse for the development problems that they caused in our children. Your pay is going to be cut. Your benefits slashed. And many of you will be working in fast food. We are coming for you.

Covid 19 and our government reaction should be the textbook example of why government trying to run everything is a bad idea.

Instead, government is still trying to sell to the masses some idea that they saved us from an apocalypse.

First, they made sure that the small business economy was destroyed.

Next, they made sure that the current adult generation was made petrified of human interaction. This kills both community groups and individual thinking.

Now, they are destroying the same sense of community/individuality among the next generation.

Sounds like the puppet masters who have sworn to destroy the American Dream have just about completed their work.

“Sic Semper Tyrannis” will soon replace “E Pluribus Unum” as the national motto if we are not careful.

<>"There are kids that are trying to sharpen pens in my pencil sharpener."<>

In middle-school this was common BEFORE the Plandemic.


Some of this concern over video games could be pure scapegoating.

Before the plandemic it was nigh on impossible to get middle-school students to do lessons on the computer as they all knew how to find and play games.

High school students had smart phones and would shriek and howl when forced to give them up during testing.

COVID-19 Lockdowns Damaged Speech and Mental Development of Children, Say Teachers

It did the same thing to Presidents, Vice Presidents and First Ladies.

I believe in the power of teachers. We are very tough people.

The teachers and their unions are a big part of the problem. They're the ones who are pushing for lockdowns and masks along with CRT and the genderqueer curriculum.

Parents could have told them this.
We now have an entire generation who don’t know their gender, can’t relate to others and are convinced that we are going to kill the planet.
