<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Potteryplease, post: 9778034, member: 16407&quot;]And I am a high school teacher (this is year 28!). I will second two comments in this thread--in my opinion the advent of social media, and then exacerbated by covid lockdowns / isolation, has made people in general more insular, more self-focused, and, in a number of ways, more oblivious. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think most of us on antiquers formed our social expectations in person, before social media began to shape social interaction, and for that reason there&#039;s a pleasant and respectful (that is to say, normal!) tone and community here. Of course, today&#039;s young parents themselves grew up online and so in some ways, the rules of social media are becoming the rules for all social interaction. It&#039;s a loss. </p><p><br /></p><p>And as a fellow educator with kentworld above, 97% of all problems I&#039;ve ever had as a teacher have been with adults. It&#039;s almost never the kids.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
