The issue stems from the generation of the parents, the children are a symptom of their environment.

Certainly not the systemic underfunding of the education system.

Education is certainly underfunded, but I don't see how you can blame toxic kids and parents on that. Sounds more like a symptom of a couple of generations of atrocious parenting to me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Part of the reason toxic kids and parents exist is because administration doesn't support teachers either. It's an entire system of issues.

Bro, you can 'fund' it as much as possible and children are still going to behave like animals if they don't have any home training.

just strange I suppose that you don't see this is systems where the education is better funded. granted it might take a few generations to really take hold. but funding education should be obvious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Or kids being raised on the internet. Shit heads teaching kids to behave like shit heads.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Yeah. A lot of the shitty parents had kids at a very young age this generation and we're seeing the repercussions of that.

You need to be able to take care of yourself before you can take care of someone else.

I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing more kids raised by their grandparents because their actual parents are shit.

I’d actually hazard a guess that on average, parents are older these days. I don’t think the issue is really young parents, it’s that parents don’t discipline now. They just shove a screen in front of their kid instead of having a meaningful conversation. Parents now were raised with somewhat instant gratification and it’s even worse with their kids.

Is this based on actual statistics of any kind, or just your ass?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What?

People used to have children at 18 (or earlier), most people now are waiting until their 30s if at all.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

People have never had kids later than this generation.
