I didn’t say or imply that. The spread of the slang is over media they consume because parents are using devices as babysitters. Them being illiterate means they’re illiterate, dawg.
What? The only thing with any definitiveness in what you linked is that 72% of teachers are using an outdated method for teaching early level reading skills (letter and word recognition).
As a secondary point, it says that teachers feel their kids can’t read anymore so the teachers have taken to tiktok about it.
There’s nothing there indicating high levels of illiteracy, or that they’ve been caused by an over use of devices as babysitters, dawg.
I think you need to brush up on your literacy.
It sure as hell isn’t a good thing, and it isn’t helping kids read or develop, but this is the same argument that’s as old as fucking time itself where older adults blame new technology for degeneration of the youth. People literally made the same complaint about radio dramas leading the youth astray.
The core of the issue is that it has become increasingly easy for parents to use technology to avoid properly taking care of their damn kids.
I literally just pulled the first link by searching “childhood literacy US,” because I know many would be in denial. It really is hilarious how angry people are about this.
I’m not responsible for people having such an extreme emotional reaction to an offhand comment on a meme. I truly wasn’t ready for all this, and now I’m laughing at you all. I’m not sure what the hell is wrong with ya’ll, but it isn’t my problem.
I admit I did no ADDITIONAL research for a chat thread where people are irrationally angry over an offhand comment on a meme. I don’t keep research papers on my phone for all information I’ve ever been exposed to ready to go incase assholes on the internet are upset. I don’t expect you to “applaud me” for anything, I give zero fucks about you or your opinions. Any other questions?

Your unwillingness to read the link you post while asserting children are illiterate, is both tragic and funny.
And that you then act like everyone else is silly for countering you? Go find a bridge, troll.

So you admit you did no actual research and just grabbed the first thing you found, and expect us to applaud you for it? GTFO

Why are you so defensive?
You’re absolutely right!
