Good Shabbos (I sin). Much of the problem, with youth and their parents, started when this country started leaning to the left, Clinton regime. It was a step in the global Marist cabal's plan to take down America. Very important to start training the children early. Take control from the parents, etc. Kids now are dependent on the "protection" by the schools and government. They are taught nothing about how to get along in society or take responsibility for their actions (or lack thereof). The kids know that there are no consequences for being non-functional. Their minds, their ambition have been taken away. Here, kid, glue this "smart phone" to your hands. Hopefully (it is still permitted to hope) we are entering a period where much of this harm will be undone.
Thank you, Surak. As a teacher of critical thinking I witness the effects of this dumbing down every day. Sometimes a student who has taken many of my courses (and loved them) says something that reveals her lack of understanding- of even basic concepts. She was merely stimulated/ entertained by my teaching style. I was her brain candy. Fyi, I teach on Zoom and am not affiliated with any institution.
I just viewed some of the top articles on your Substack and subscribed. It's great to find a thoughtful person who is not doctrinaire.
Regarding your teaching activities, I think what you are doing is the future for real education. The education establishment has reached the bubble stage and is bursting before our eyes.

Thank you so much for your kind note, Surak. I hope you are right about the 'education establishment bubble bursting'.
The non-doctrinaire are a much threatened species. Do let me know of I can help you and your work in some way.
Stay safe and well,
