Can confirm. My daughter is teaching.
Seems to be three problems. Admin rules , and spoon fed info from phones, and parents who don't understand how to reinforce learning.
Admin one is that they can't report how the child is doing via marks, nor can they say negative comments. So parents don't get any eye openers, and a failing child is passed to next grade anyway.
The children aren't able to grasp info from a story and repeat points they picked out, they always want it given to them. The phone gives them instant prepared info about anything in short time spans, so they don't want to put effort into any task. There also a few that ask for help with scissors because they find cutting paper a long task.
The parents aren't helping.
Children come back without homework done. And parents say its up to the teacher to force them to do their homework. Lol.
Parents sending in chatgpt lists of how the teacher can monitor the child's backpack and ensure they take home the work, book, and writing tools each day etc. The parents thinks it is acceptable to direct every action of the child to get results...which seems is why they can't think for themselves at all now.
This is where the problem starts. 30 yrs teaching at a tech post secondary. Ridiculous grade inflation to accommodate students' falling abilities. Spent waaaay more time than I should have dealing with plagiarism from internet sources. Many of my colleagues just gave up. Those kids are now parents.
