I'm a teacher of 7 to 8 year olds. I'm surprised that all these people who are saying, "gen alpha can't read!" are forgetting that Gen Alpha was supossed to be learning to read when covid broke out and we sent all the kids home to learn online. Then we brought them back with masks on. A vital aspect of learning to read is learning the sounds letters and letter combinations make. That's harder to learn when masks cover up faces that would allow teachers to show what your mouth should look like when saying those sounds, and when they can't see the shapes of the mouths of the kifs doing it. Plus, the masks muffle sounds. As for computers, that's the fault of all those idiots who kept saying, "Gen Alpha are native to the internet and computers!" So they thought that they didn't need to teach them about the internet of computers and are now shocked by the results. That's not how the internet works. You don't just put things in front of them and hope for the best. You don't do that with reading, why would ypu with the internet? The Andrew Tate thing is true, though. Very sad. But it's related to the internet thing where we didn't teach them well.

[@chromatika67]

Exactly

[@ZZ-qy5mv]

7 and 8? Why and how are 7 and 8 year olds watching Andrew Tate?

[@FanOfTheMyths]

@ZZ-qy5mv Unlimited access to KZbin and TikTok. Someone did an experiment once that it only took a few minutes of clicking things young boys like before they start recommending Andrew Tate on TikTok. I have to reach out to parents and explain what their kids are seeing and show them how to set up KZbin Kids on all devices. It's especially hard when the parents don't know English, so they don't know what their kids are listening to.

[@AyathuthukaMhlongo]

You'd be very surprised bro​@@ZZ-qy5mv

[@Funkenstein91]

I’m baffled by the “gen alpha can’t read” rhetoric, because reading compression is something that’s monitored at the national level. Post-pandemic, the average reading ability of students fell to roughly 1990 levels. So by that logic, does that mean Gen X can’t read either? As with everything else, the issue is far more complicated than a bunch of holier than thou folks on social media are making it seem.

[@karmasicy4002]

Can we leave Gen alpha alone until they grow old enough to clap us back

[@JessicaKennedy367]

Let me introduce you to my nephew. All he does is clap back. Tbh, he claps first most of the time. They may not be able to read or format or respect women, but they also cannot care less about our opinions 😂 and they are cheerfully vocal about it

Teal. Also my mom is teacher and has been for over 20 years. I've talked to her about the issue and she says that children have undoubtedly and noticably become less able to not only read/write/learn but also to appropriately regulate their emotions. I do think it's a very real problem but I also think that it is a fixable problem. Limiting screen time and teaching children to appreciate reading, writing, and getting outside could be the difference. Also teaching young boys to respect women would be pretty helpful...

i just finished working at a summer camp for kids 4-14 (although we didn't have any older than 12) the kids seem alright to me. i'm younger gen z, they seem to be fairly smart. some of them are too focused on the wrong things (one girl was telling me all about how much bubble skin care she got for her birthday), but overall they seem like really normal children. some annoying habits, sure, but that's normal too.

i have a brother who’s like right at the generational cusp, but leaning gen alpha, and he seems to be doing alright with most things. he’s a smart kid with an interest in football and geography. i’ve made sure to impart on him a crucial knowledge of vines and other important culture. there are occassional moments where i’m shocked by certain knowledge, life skills, or cultural things he’s just completely unfamiliar with, like the fact that he couldn’t name any hans christian andersen fairytales (we’re literally danish) or the fact that he didn’t know you could wash dishes without a dishwasher haha. but those are more like * side eyes my dad and stepmum * moments

I don't want to hate on kids. For the most part a lot of the silly things they do is due to there age. I do, however, use the seeming disfunction of gen alpha as a way to hate on millennials, specifically millennial parents. I think it is mainly the fault of millennial parents that these kids are being raised by iPads and having a harder time reading and doing other things. We'll see how it plays out as gen alpha moves into adulthood though.

My kids are all Gen Z but my youngest is almost Gen alpha. He was using a computer from age 2. His Dad works with computers so he was drawn to them, he completed the first Portal at 3 because his spatial awareness has always been high. He was reading before he was 5 and used to read to the other kids in preschool. He still loves reading. However, he can be judgmental over very minimal things, though he is aware of it and catches himself and then feels bad he got so judgmental. He certainly enjoys apps like YT and Reddit.

I don’t think it’s that far-fetched that Gen Alpha might be falling short of that critical word gap we normally see from poor kids whose parents can’t read to them regularly (and put them in front of the TV instead). If you don’t hit a certain threshold of words learned by 1st grade, there’s loads of evidence that you’ll probably never catch up to your peers all the way through high school.

My gen X stepdad has a millenial daughter and two gen alpha sons and he laments the gap sometimes, feels like he just doesn't understand the boys.

I was also doing tutoring for a while at a place kids came to after school and my experience with gen z and gen alpha there didn't make me worry any less about "kids these days". I'm very fond of all of them and I hope their futures are bright with something other than wildfires but I suspect "we" have set them up for tragedy
