This current crop of kids has been tormented to believe that their unfettered, unadulterated selves will kill grandma (so mask up and shoot up), and that education can also mean sitting in front of a computer to get your requisite hours of "instructional time" regardless of personal relevance, self a development, etc. Showing up is all that's required (prizes all around!).
Overheard in the locker room this morning (from a teacher), "I'm feeling like my school has become a juvenile detention center. There are so many behavioral problems because the kids missed too much school..."
I'll bet no one will think to parse those problems into the sort that are true behavioral *problems* and those that just reveal that kids don't like what schools are selling them.
Regardless, this is going to bite us so hard in the years to come
