Not a teacher but an occupational therapist who works with kids who are very very low academically (SLD, a few ID, OHI)- like kindergarten reading level and in 7th grade. Im wondering for those in middle school/high school what do these kids wind up doing? What happens to them in high school and beyond? Should schools have more functional life skill classes for these kids or just keep pushing academics? Do they become functional adults with such low reading levels? I am very concerned!
When capitalism shoots itself in the foot it’s kinda dumb to get mad at the foot.
People don’t have effort or care about their work because there is no hope left. If there is the thought that there could be something to work up to like owning a house and starting a family or living prosperously by working at McDonald’s then yeah you might put the cheese on right. But there’s no hope, there’s only poverty wages and a second or third job if you want more of less.
I’m glad you’ve got to see some people making effort to better their lives but as the socioeconomic worsens you’ll see that less and less. Go watch tik toks of 18 year olds realizing just how shit their wages are vs. rent and food. Shit wasn’t like this when you were born, boomer, and it wasn’t even that bad when I was 18. But it’s reeeeeal bad now. Bad bad.
You can’t see the forest through the trees. You can’t see the writing on the wall. You probably voted for Reagan so honestly you deserve nothing but shit customer service just for that but even if you didn’t, you know, fuck you still. Your last comment talked about amputating the foot like you’re pro taking these people out and shooting them in an alley, so it really sounds like you’re in favor of murdering people that are incapable of giving you good customer service. You’re gross and I don’t know why I’ve spent so much time on you. This will be the last comment.

You don’t get it so I’ll try to explain it better.
You are complaining about systemic problems. A robust and wealthy middle class (and a properly social safety better poor) has the time and energy to focus on childbearing. Since reagenomics the system has been focused to suck the life out of the middle class and work them to the bone.
People with money have the time to spend on their children. People who don’t have to work two to three jobs have time to spend on their children. This is a situation that compounds with every generation too as children who are raised improperly thanks to their parents being overworked growing up and raising even worse children thanks to being overworked.
Don’t have energy to deal with your kid after work? Throw them a tablet. Gotta work all day and night? Then school isn’t much more than a babysitter to the kids you can’t handle.
People with money have lives, education, and time on their hands. People with time build communities. Parents with stable incomes are better parents.
My real point is you can sit and complain about the shitty target employee but it’s not really their fault they suck. It’s the systems fault. And why does the system suck? Because shitty people like you that buy into it, don’t ask questions, and complain about minimum wage workers and think the rest of us are gonna applaud you. You’re a jerk.
