InfinityMonster 04/14/23 8:54:49 PM #51:	COVxy posted... "Information overload" isn't a thing. When presented with a resource with information, what people do is offload their cognitive load. They don't need to memorize a bunch of things because they can just look them up. This frees up mental effort for other, often more creative, tasks. I get what you're saying, but this has nothing to do with an unlimited source of information, and people being unable to discern between good and bad info. --- "It lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge" <cite>InfinityMonster posted [p:972849213] in Do you thi...

loafy013 04/14/23 9:31:03 PM #53:	CrackerJacker07 posted... Like what stories? I haven't been in school in years so I'm curious what the zeitgeist is like for kids. From things I've seen, teacher burn-out can boil down to 2 big things. First is today's Karens are the parents of your kids. So right or wrong, you get stuck defending yourself against the parent and administration for any perceived slight. Second, today's kids can be more media savvy. Which can include learning they can threaten the teacher to get what they want. Like getting in trouble, being asked to stay after class to have a word with them only to have them threaten to say you sexually assaulted them if they receive any punishment. --- The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact. Everything else, is theory. <cite>loafy013 posted [p:972850037] in Do you thi... [t:80412466]...</cite> <quote>CrackerJacker07 posted... </cite><quote>Like what stories?

Cleo_II 04/15/23 11:52:29 AM #62:	Kakapo posted... Boundaries are important for kids, socially as much as to make your own lives easier. My kids are very bright and have ridiculous amounts of energy. If we didnt establish firm, consistent boundaries and logical, proportionate consequences with them, it would be doing them a disservice later in life. Absolutely. Its crazy to see so many parents that let their kids walk all over them. The whole gentle parenting fad is very harmful as it usually just means they never say no or ever establish boundaries. Its not that kids are less intelligent, just more lazy parents. <cite>Cleo_II posted [p:972859331] in Do you thi...
