Because news sites make money from clicks. They have negative incentive to save you the click, because the lower traffic would hurt their profits. Their entire business model is focused on getting clicks.

Yes exactly, thus I’m asking op to put the answer in the title and defeat their business model of trying to feed us ads

Mehh, theres no way to control the kids if they don’t want to be and lots ofrepercussions if you do.
Solutions, I don’t have any but it will only get worse.

Is the latest generation of teachers just not prepared for job?
Zagorath@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Bad take. Is not teachers’ job to instill good morals in kids.
It also shouldn’t be in them to put up with abuse in the workplace, regardless of who’s the one delivering that abuse.

That would be on the parents

good morals in kids
I think you mean basic human decency

Yet it is. It’s a broken system.

As a person who has a teacher in my direct family, I can tell you that it wouldn’t matter what preparation and training they are given.
Part of the reason is that they have zero ability to control the kids in the class because if they do, the parents will basically sue the school, rip into the teacher (Because little Jimmy is just their perfect angel and can do no wrong.), and you can do nothing to any child that speaks to you like that, in any way whatsoever.
The system is completely broken and the teachers just sit there and get abused from day to day to day. It’s been happening for years now.
I tell you what, next time some little teenage shit tells you you’re a “fat fucking cunt of a piece of shit” (for example, to mirror the linked article’s language), and tells you day to day to your face, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Let’s just see how well prepared you are.

What ever happened to detentions, suspensions and expulsion?
Soft.
Schools need to start issuing “Your kid is a cunt” warnings to parents, with threats of abuse and harassment criminal charges. If public health staff won’t put up with it, why should teachers?
Parents and school won’t do shit. Call the cops. Except in America, because that will get someone shot.

Soo… how old are parents of these kids… is it my generation that is raising these kids, why are parents creating these kids, or what other influences are creating this situation?
Zagorath@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I do think that it’s a genuinely difficult and complicated issue, from the perspective of “why are the kids behaving this way”. It’s a problem of parenting; a problem of how the parents were parented (basically: “my parents didn’t oversee my technology use and I turned out fine, so I’ll do the same”); and most significantly (in my opinion) a completely new technology landscape. Parents do need to get better at parenting, but that doesn’t let Meta (Facebook, Instagram), Google (especially YouTube), and ByteDance (TikTok) off the hook for algorithms that feed young impressionable people with abhorrent content solely because that is what makes their platforms the most money. Parents can and should be helping their children learn to avoid harmful content or restrict their access to said content, but they’re fighting against the tide as long as the platforms themselves want to feed that content to them.
One thing that’s less simple is this: regardless of the underlying causes, teachers should not have to put up with abuse. Abusive students should be removed from the classroom, whether they’re abusing the teacher or other students. Their education is important and I understand why schools and education departments are hesitant to do this, but the physical and mental wellbeing of others should be more important.

you’re gonna get shitheads in every generation
The shithead scions set off the other teens who are in fact just teenagers and doing dumb rebellious teenaged shit.
The former will pull up or end up on meth. The latter will look back and cringe.

That is every generation. Not unique to this one though.

Partially it is the Parents and partially it is the media.
The thing is that the parents are the ones who are not providing good role-models to their boys so the boys look to MRA arseholes as their role models instead. Mainstream media and the Independent media they are being exposed to by ThE aLgOrYtHmS reinforces their opinions.
