The confluence of societal and governmental factors leading to these outcomes is an irredeemable tragedy. Nobody gives a fuck about education and the consequences are accelerating

I’ve seen a lot of people upset at children at how they don’t care about school. They lack motivation and “they don’t care”
Of course they blame it on tablets and shit and it’s like. Kids and teens are not fucking stupid. Why should they care about school when it just means they’ll be on the street or living with their abusive parents because they can’t get a job or apartment. Climate change is here and a transportation crisis is looming near.
Like shit is fucking BLEAK for the next generation.
Also means they are going to be a driving force for change. So we best be reaching out to them and helping them with their politics.
counterpoint but I didn’t care about school and I still did great, I HAD TO if I wanted to fuck off and spend the rest of class reading/sleeping
countercounterpoint but I’m also a college dropout paralyzed by low executive function so
many of them do, but even more of them aren’t willing to admit it or are still gleefully unaware. they can’t be actively afraid of climate change or the economy when they can’t and don’t read. the vast majority of the students are simply more interested in whatever they have going on in their personal lives, goofing with their friends. those with lib parents will sometimes parrot lib talking points.
i don’t at all disagree with your solution that we must raise their class consciousness, but in my anecdotal experience, they are much much less advanced than what i understand you to be suggesting.
Its not really a matter of how advanced they are. The material conditions are going to force their hands to action at some point. The big question is will they be reactionary or not. When I say work on their politics, I mean this. How reactionary they are is going to be very important.
