@bsletten I get your frustration. Please keep in mind, A student is only as good as his master. I'm just 30 years old, but ever since I saw and actively have contact with generation Alpha, I notice that they were left alone. Completely.
No one was there to help them with anything, be it culture, the newest tech or anything else.
I don't blame them nor make fun of them but treating them as the beings they deserve to be.
I'm rather pretty upset that the older generations were literally doing nothing and were enjoying the situation, no matter the outcome.
So thats where we are right now. It's sad for the kids and our future.
