    lol. When I was mature age doing Ag. science I laughed at the kids who couldn’t read a grid system map. Had no shame about that.

    Also putting an = in an excel cell was like magic to them.

    I shouldn’t laugh either but it made me wonder what the fuck they were taught in HS.

      It’s actually wild tbh, I have no idea what HS is like and I imagine with the state of the world, the prevalence of social media, and a lack of care in their own education, and a lack of curiosity is driving it.

      I have heard anecdotally, that HS students are generally really inattentive and rude in classrooms these days. I do wonder what will happen to them when they finish up and enter “the real world”. Will they still receive a pass? Or will reality provide them harsh truths? Will they take on the lessons and change, or double down?

      That excel thing also blew the minds of my 50+yo coworkers and bosses at my last job. Millennials do be surrounded by some silly people, god.
