Those teenagers are the victim of a failing educational system because they're clearly idiots.
@favrion @AlmightySnoo it's scary how unstable, impulsive, crazy, persuasive they are. I see many jobs getting destroyed after our generation. I can literally not think of how a genz is gonna be like a data analyst. I would like to see many outliers tho.
That's funny. We said the same about you... Every gen shits on the next one. Every next gen figures it out.
A lot of millennials are struggling though. Only a few figured it out. It could be even worse for GenZ.
As a professor, I am terrified of what will happen when GenZ takes the reins. Without changing course content, GenZ has been failing what millennials passed without issue.
Millenials are struggling because the previous generations fucked everything up, not because they can't figure things out.
@ExtraMedicated @canihasaccount we can't blame them fully. Who would've thought carl segan would be right when he used to say that temperature will rise or When some used to say capitalism needs a check and balance.
This is just old people perspective. Every generation has been smarter than the previous since at least WWII. Every generation also seems pretty dumb at 19 years old.
Our schools have improved by leaps and bounds and get better all the time.
Our? Where? In the US? Certainly not in the US. By any measure. Math scores are the lowest they've been in decades, same with science. Nevermind all of the fascist 1984 book banning and burning nonsense happening in certain places. These kids are not smarter.

Passing/failing the same educational curriculum is about as close as you can get to objectively measuring "smart", and a professor just told you they are seeing gen z fail. Not sure why that's so easy to scoff at.
Curious in which ways specifically you think that millennials are struggling.
Probably financially, this of course isn't something the millennials caused or can even correct on their own.
The good news is GenZ seems to direct their stupidity towards good things, mostly. They're not racist or sexist or greedy etc. They try to help and improve the world. They effect change through sheer firepower.
The bad news is that stupid people are easily manipulated, and as soon as the boomers die off, zoomers will be the next target.
@jhulten yeah I'm not completely against how they are and i understand that them being like this might be helpful too in the future tech and/or advancement of human civilization. While i still think it's quite sloppy right now. And yeah we might've been more disastrous then the last gen.
As much as i agree that if i were in last gen, I wouldn't want to miss and not see how much development we've seen in my time, I actually fancy your gen and society of that time. It's just FOMO, innit?
There are still smart kids out there. They are probably not wrapped up in this Android/iPhone war.
Be careful not to group people together based on one criteria and judge them based on another.
@waz no it was just a critical comment and i didn't even see the initial comment so ofcourse i was generalising.
