SalamiMami :
The “dream” of going to college and getting a great job that will pay off your loans and you can own a house is dead. There’s no motivation to do well

It’s not laziness, it’s knowing nothing comes out of hard work anymore. They know they won’t have the money for a house, or even a job isn’t guaranteed with studies. No goal, no hope anymore.

It's a massive problem, largely it's by design (no child left behind) but also it's just a symptom of late stage capitalism.

Sassy….Kim :
is it possibly that in most households two parents are working and everyone is basically in survival mode all of the time?

It’s also that they see that their parents who got good grades and tried really hard, still struggle. Their mindset might be “what’s the point?”

Saiyaduck :
One reason I think this problem is so huge is because they see that there’s not really a point in good grades anymore, cuz if you go to college, your degree won’t get you any good jobs anymore…

I work with kids and I feel like this is due to all of them knowing that hard work gets you basically nothing anymore. so there's no motivation

As an adult I’m struggling to care about life. Everything is looking grim. It’s hard to keep going when there’s no light at the end of the tunnel.

Our schools dumped music and art and focus on standardized testing only. I wouldn't be interested or care either especially as I'm a bad test taker 😭

JEEBY :
as someone who is just getting into adulthood, yeah, 90% of my peers see their future as just working to survive and nothing else 1/3

Anna aka articulatelyComposed :
When I was in high school, the reason to work hard was getting into a good college so you can have a stable life. Is that a feasible goal anymore?

bidetblastr3000 :
I really think in general everyone is just exhausted, it’s not just kids. It’s capitalism and the feeling that we are all just staying where we are no matter how hard we try.

I started hating school when it turned from learning to just making sure everyone was scoring good enough to keep school grants.

My child loves learning and has endless ideas. Then I put him in public school and the environment caters to adults. I know their job is hard but it’s all about obedience rather than play, creativity

All they see regarding adulthood is watching one or both parents stressed to the max, trying to make ends met, and tired non-stop. To a teenager, adulthood probably doesn’t look too appealing

I’m an academic advisor, and when I tell you this same thing is at the college level too—the apathy is at an all time high. I can’t blame them either.

That’s my biggest issue right now.. not bad behavior, absences, or even tardies. It’s kids coming in and just being a body in the classroom not caring about the outcome.
