Tommy Callahan Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 meh. Homeschooling, Charters, private are all seeing more students as the public schools continue to circle the drain and fail today's youth. Maybe if the schools thought things like math and science through graduation, we wouldn't have this huge number of kids that think they are ready for college but drop out/fail out the first year. driving up cost and the college debt bubble. and putting themselves behind the eight-ball going into life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. It's like now you have to talk about a problem for hours instead of powering through it, and that leads to more anxiety. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have enough insight to place blame but that makes sense. My experience was with the results and as employees they were collectively the lowest performers. The Gen-Z kids right out of school were putting in much more effort and though they lacked the experience, were outperforming their higher paid Millennial co-workers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you don't want to work on the problem yourself, you need to solve in collectively/collaboratively. Or you made some progress, so you get to leave work after only working for 6 hours. Or you didn't make any progress, but you've been at work for almost 8 hours, so you go home so work doesn't interfere with your work-life balance. Or you want to work from home 3 days per week even though all of your tasks require you to be on-site and in the lab. Or you don't like to go to meetings but are upset if you aren't invited to all of them even if they don't pertain to you or your job function. Or you're sad because work isn't fun, and you want more pizza parties. Or you now have more pizza parties but you're still sad because they are boring. Or you complain to HR that everyone doesn't have the same salary because it seems like life isn't fair. Or you complain about the 401K plan that contributes more to employees with higher salaries. See Doc, now you got me all spun up, this is why I retired! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh. Same. Went to private school for middle school, and we had a new science teacher. Middle aged guy. Super loud and friendly but we noticed that he was awful “friendly” with the girls, some of whom would stay after class to talk and joke with him. Three years later he was arrested for sexting and exchanging nude pictures with a 12-year-old who originally started talking to him because her parents were divorcing.
