Across time zones, age groups and socioeconomic lines, young people appear to be hitting a breaking point that developmental psychologists are calling the "pandemic wall." Here's why and what to do about it.
Don't get me wrong, learning is important, but I don't have tons of fond memories of great learning opportunities in school.
Schooling needs a major overhaul as they haven't changed much for...centuries.
As they are now they're more for teaching discipline and obedience than anything else. Personally, I think the prison-like environment of current schools breeds contempt and fear of learning rather than nurturing it.
When I see how schools are supposed to look post-Covid, it makes me sick. They look like dystopian bio-prisons -- I cannot fathom the psychological damage it would cause a person to go there. No socialize! No touch! Only 'learn'!
I could be wrong about this one -- or overly sensitive. I've talked with a kid in my family going to school and she mentioned how she played soccer during lunch / PE. But she also talked about how they couldn't share pencils and a lot of rules about touching surfaces. Idk, it just seems atomizing and sick-making to me.
